Bringing to life scientific research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics, this bestselling book 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.
• 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 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. 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.

評分1998年,一位法國人設計瞭一個既復雜又彆開生麵的自殺計劃。首先,他站在高高懸崖上,脖子套上索套,繩子末端固定在大石頭上。然後,他喝下毒藥,並開始自焚。他還覺不夠喉,從懸崖跳下時,朝著自己腦袋開瞭一槍。可子彈並沒有打中目標,反而打斷瞭繩索。因此,他直接掉到海裏...
評分我本以為這本書會告訴我們一些實用的,關於幸福的箴言,然而這本書雖然不是純學術的,但也絕對稱不上工具書,丹尼爾用一些社會統計和研究實驗的方法,特彆理性地得齣瞭一些結論,但僅僅是結論而已,並不能告訴我們如何纔能得到幸福。這本書邏輯性太強,我隻能切取其中一些有感...
評分首先,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...
