Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University. He also holds an appointment at the MIT Media Lab where he is the head of the eRationality research group. He was formerly the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Behavioral Economics at MIT Sloan School of Management.
Dan Ariely grew up in Israel after birth in New York. He served in the Israeli army and when 18 suffered third-degree burns over 70 percent of his body from an accidental magnesium flare explosion during training.
Ariely recovered and went on to graduate from Tel Aviv University and received a Ph.D. and M.A. in cognitive psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a Ph.D. in business from Duke University. His research focuses on discovering and measuring how people make decisions. He models the human decision making process and in particular the irrational decisions that we all make every day.
Ariely is the author of the book, Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions, which was published on February 19, 2008 by HarperCollins. When asked whether reading Predictably Irrational and understanding one's irrational behaviors could make a person's life worse (such as by defeating the benefits of a placebo), Ariely responded that there could be a short term cost, but that there would also likely be longterm benefits, and that reading his book would not make a person worse off.
The New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality returns with thought-provoking work to challenge our preconceptions about dishonesty and urge us to take an honest look at ourselves.
Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to cheat?
How do companies pave the way for dishonesty?
Does collaboration make us more honest or less so?
Does religion improve our honesty?
Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all cheat. From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune, whether it's the white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense reports. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, award-winning, bestselling author Dan Ariely turns his unique insight and innovative research to the question of dishonesty.
Generally, we assume that cheating, like most other decisions, is based on a rational cost-benefit analysis. But Ariely argues, and then demonstrates, that it's actually the irrational forces that we don't take into account that often determine whether we behave ethically or not. For every Enron or political bribe, there are countless puffed rÉsumÉs, hidden commissions, and knockoff purses. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, Ariely shows why some things are easier to lie about; how getting caught matters less than we think; and how business practices pave the way for unethical behavior, both intentionally and unintentionally. Ariely explores how unethical behavior works in the personal, professional, and political worlds, and how it affects all of us, even as we think of ourselves as having high moral standards.
But all is not lost. Ariely also identifies what keeps us honest, pointing the way for achieving higher ethics in our everyday lives. With compelling personal and academic findings, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty will change the way we see ourselves, our actions, and others.
这是一本有趣的书。 作者在这本书里试图探究这么一个问题:欺骗从何而来?欺骗行为仅仅是少数坏人的行径,还是一个更为普遍的问题?他提出了这么一个观点,即「人们并非仅仅基于对各种情况进行的理性分析来决定是否犯罪/欺骗。日常生活中,人们既希望从欺诈中获益,又希望维持...
评分The Honest Truth About Dishonesty 2012-7-19 思考: 1. 是否可以给名牌的附加价值再加上一项:阻止道德滑坡? 2. 按照“勿以恶小而为之”,从网上下载免费的电子书,窃取了作者的劳动成果,是否会让人变得不诚实呢?即使初衷是好的:读书。 第一章 基于实验的三个结论...
评分As good as "predictably irrational", but in a different way. Better than "the upside of irrationality".
评分超有趣~格式上,简直就是一篇学术论文的白话版,学者怎么做实验,怎么控制变量,设置对照组,得出什么结论,什么limitations,一篇学术论文应该有的这本书都涵盖了。内容上,用一次次行为实验探讨了人为什么cheat,什么情况下cheat得少一些,还有由此衍生的其他话题。
评分:无
评分太能扯了,开始灌水了
评分很好读的一本书,大部分内容我以前都知道了,所以当故事听听,非常幽默。人真是很容易想去cheat,但还要维持自我感觉良好的形象,所以就cheat一点点比较容易rationalize。然而人也很容易被周围人影响,slippery slope和what the hell,大概就是反正今天吃了pizza减不了肥了,不如索性再吃个冰淇淋和蛋糕吧!书中提到他们有个文章说在文件开始处签字更少cheat的实验后来被推翻了。
