An award-winning psychologist exposes the truth behind life's little oddities and absurdities in this quirky and practical guide to life. For over twenty years, psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman has examined the quirky science of everyday life. In Quirkology , he navigates the backwaters of human behavior, discovering the tell-tale signs that give away a liar, the secret science behind speed-dating and personal ads, and what a person's sense of humor reveals about the innermost workings of their mind-- all along paying tribute to others who have carried out similarly weird and wonderful work. Wiseman's research has involved secretly observing people as they go about their daily business, conducting unusual experiments in art exhibitions and music concerts, and even staging fake séances in allegedly haunted buildings. With thousands of research subjects from all over the world, including enamored couples, unwitting pedestrians, and guileless dinner guests, Wiseman presents a fun, clever, and unexpected picture of the human mind.

别看书名起得怪诞，内容其实一点都不怪诞，就是在普及心理学的基本知识。最多，就是其中不少解释、结论与我们的直觉和常识背道而驰，而这，也是很多心理学研究结果的共同特点。 这本书涉及心理学的四个分支，其中两个，的确有点小众，譬如时间心理学和灵异心理学，我想，这大...
