本书结构简单内容短小,写作略显拖沓臃肿,170多页的正文实际上大约120页就能说完。 本书从各角度讨论人类认知世界(interpretation of information) 以及根据信息作出选择(decision making)过程中常见的mistakes,bias以及产生的原因。原因的分析很有意思但是论证不够充足也没...
评分一直以为是精密的大脑竟然是个克鲁兹,是一个没有发育完全的家伙,原本坚信的判断也据此有了一些动摇和质疑 关于语言,选择,快乐,记忆,都那么容易受到一些干扰 祖传和慎思系统,心理污染,自圆其说,精神崩溃 批判性思维进行反思,其它选项,重新界定问题,相关关系,样本量...
评分学者们常说,人类进化成直立行走的动物,才解放了双手,让我们成为智人。 然而这样的进化优势,却同时也让我们患上了四足动物不会有的病,比如人走多了、坐久了都会腰疼,那是因为脊椎受不了。 直立之后,让我们脊椎难以承受身体的重量,嗅觉变得不再灵敏,还要提前将胎儿排除...
评分你是否有过这样的经历,就是你明明出门之前记得一定要带钥匙和手机,可你就是没带;你是在回家的路上想着其他事情,然后就错过了自己家门口;你是否明明手机就放在口袋里,可还就是去拼命的找手机;这样的经历我相信大家都似曾相识吧。出现这样的事情后,你就会常常对自己的记...

Are we “noble in reason”? Perfect, in God’s image? Far from it, says New York University psychologist Gary Marcus. In this lucid and revealing book, Marcus argues that the mind is not an elegantly designed organ but rather a “kluge,” a clumsy, cobbled-together contraption. He unveils a fundamentally new way of looking at the human mind -- think duct tape, not supercomputer -- that sheds light on some of the most mysterious aspects of human nature.
Taking us on a tour of the fundamental areas of human experience -- memory, belief, decision-making, language, and happiness -- Marcus reveals the myriad ways our minds fall short. He examines why people often vote against their own interests, why money can’t buy happiness, why leaders often stick to bad decisions, and why a sentence like “people people left left” ties us in knots even though it’s only four words long.
Marcus also offers surprisingly effective ways to outwit our inner kluge, for the betterment of ourselves and society. Throughout, he shows how only evolution -- haphazard and undirected -- could have produced the minds we humans have, while making a brilliant case for the power and usefulness of imperfection.
开始觉得很好,后来渐渐觉得这本书的内容写得很乱,就是定了个大主题后就开始信马由缰。有些小实验挺有趣,但这本书说讲的道理不深,很表象。
评分很棒的一本大众心理书。小小的一本,里面提到的概念又很熟悉,所以很快就看完了。最重要的自然是最后一张作者给的13个建议。感觉中心思想就是,还是要理性思考。
评分生动而又浅显易读的科普读物~
评分很好的一部科普书籍。了解我们自己思维的缺陷。
