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.

读后感

最近突然觉得心理学是个很神奇的的东西 好像当透彻的了解之后 一切事情都理所当然了 书的本身没太大意思 就是一个综合无数心理学家多年苦心研究的报告文学 实验都很贴近生活 由此就有几点感受： 1.可能在你不经意间就被心理学家算计了 就成为实验对象了 2.心理学家就是把天马行...  

如今各种类型的有关心理行为分析的图书颇为畅销，《怪诞心理学》也是其中一部。美国还有一部电视剧叫Lie to Me，专门讲这个，在国内听不少人说看过。我自己也看过两集，里面甭管是谁男的女的老的少的都爱撒个谎骗个人，编了瞎话以后浑身不自在，小动作特别多，自己还不觉得以为...  

前两天看了《怪诞心理学》，给我最大的印象，就是本篇的标题——哪些猫在角落里坏笑的心理学家！书里的故事很多，仅仅摘录几个来揭露一下他们的“邪恶嘴脸”。 第一个，他们认为，通过星座、血型神码的来预测各人的性格很不靠谱。坏人做了一份性格测试问卷，投放给一大群学生，...  

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...  

诺贝尔奖忘设心理学奖了，你知道吗？所以------------ 斗胆在这借一位肯尼斯、两位丹尼尔以及一位乔治这四大诺贝尔经济学奖得主对《怪诞经济学》的评价造一下谣： “一本很有意思的书，读来让你发笑，但它可以让你了解人们为什么会有那些匪夷所思的行为。它将是未来几年最具影...
