Humans just aren't entirely rational creatures.

We decide to roll over and hit the snooze button instead of going to the gym. We take out home loans we can't possibly afford. And did you know that people named Paul are more likely to move to St. Paul than other cities? All too often, our subconscious causes us to act against our own self-interest.

But our free-market economy is based on the assumption that we always do act in our own self-interest. In this provocative book, physician Peter Ubel uses his understanding of psychology and behavior to show that in some cases government must regulate markets for our own health and well-being. And by understanding and controlling the factors that go into our decisions, big and small, we can all begin to stop the damage we do to our bodies, our finances, and our economy as a whole.

Ubel's vivid stories bring his message home for anyone interested in improving the way our society works.

直觉:为什么我们左右不了自己的生活

读后感

不知道是因为我专业知识缺乏，逻辑思维限制，或者是译文表述的问题。读完后只有一段段的印象片段，没有整体的可以理顺的条理。可能需要多看遍吧  

我以为我会做出对自己绝对有利的决定，可事实确实短期的自我打败了长期的自我。做一个延迟满足者往往需要更多的毅力和决心，而大多数人是很难做到的，我们一直每天都在作选择，吃什么，吃或者不吃，早上几点起床，晚上几点睡觉，这些问题无时无刻不在困扰着我们。 ...  

封面装帧很漂亮，又是经济读物，一冲动就借了。一看开头，晕了，动不动就亚当·斯密跟他的《国富论》，继续装。看到中段，才恍然大悟作者聊的不过就是行为决策学。但这语言，好枯燥啊。还不如，我再看一遍《影响力》或者《别做正常的傻瓜》咧。 101123上外公家
