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.

因为我怪诞的心理 我不想给人占三楼，等半天都没有人占二楼 要不另外那本也赠给我吧，啦啦。。。。。  

Bob在看Lie To Me。总觉得自己没时间看那么长的东西，再说美剧牛逼的越狱我都没看过。 倒是买了和Lie To Me稍稍有关的一本书，豆瓣上评价挺高的——怪诞心理学。 现在出版社出书总是乱出引题，收到书草草的翻开，显然我的期望值又高了。 不过李欣频读完了还是惯性的开始翻开...  

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...
