Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink? Why will sighted people pay more to avoid going blind than blind people will pay to regain their sight? Why do dining companions insist on ordering different meals instead of getting what they really want? Why do patients remember long medical procedures as being less painful than short ones? Why do home sellers demand prices they wouldn’t dream of paying if they were home buyers? Why are shoppers happier when they can’t get refunds? Why do pigeons seem to have such excellent aim; why can’t we remember one song while listening to another; and why does the line at the grocery store always slow down the moment we join it?
In this brilliant, witty, and accessible book, renowned Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert describes the foibles of imagination and illusions of foresight that cause each of us to misconceive our tomorrows and misestimate our satisfactions. Vividly bringing to life the latest scientific research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics, Gilbert reveals what scientists have discovered about the uniquely human ability to imagine the future, and about our capacity to predict how much we will like it when we get there. With penetrating insight and sparkling prose, Gilbert explains why we seem to know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become.</p>

首先,這不是一本溫情脈脈救世主式的Self-help Book,Gilbert在前言裏很明確地錶示: This is not an instruction manual that will tell you anything useful about how to be happy. Those books are located in the self help section and once you've bought one, done ever...
評分這本書似乎沒有登上過什麼國內的排行榜,看過後覺得翻譯的很彆扭,包括名字也給人一些誤導(雖然是直譯)。不過從書的內容來看客觀的說是一本值得一看的書。這本書從比較科學嚴謹的實驗數據來證實人思維方式上的誤差,而這些誤差往往導緻人對未來的判斷不是消極就是恐懼...
評分 評分剛剛通過TEDtoChina看到瞭哈佛心理學教授丹·吉爾伯特的TED演講視頻 ,演講瞭講述瞭關於“閤成快樂”的一些有趣的結論: 人腦前額葉皮質具有一種“模擬”的能力,它能根據自己不管是遺傳的還是後天獲取的經驗,來“模擬判斷”即將發生的事情是帶給自己正嚮的和負嚮的感覺,並...

跟雞湯毫無關係,科學地論證瞭為什麼想象不靠譜,因為我們會填補空白,用當前去設想未來以及沒有考慮到一旦事情發生,完全跟現實不一樣,尤其是壞的事情。我們能夠做到的是,"our great big brains do not allow us to go surefootedly into our futures, they at least allow us to understand what makes us stumble."

評分對Happiness研究的review,感覺重點是人對happiness level的預測能力,以及迴歸於base line的傾嚮。有點經濟行為學的味道?
評分還是蠻有意思的
評分Since memory and imagination are not completely reliable, people can't deal with the past and the future in a reasonable way. This book is not an instruction manual of how to become happy or in Tal Ben-Shahar's words, to become happier. You have to find your own way elsewhere.
