A surprising and intriguing examination of how scarcity—and our flawed responses to it—shapes our lives, our society, and our culture
Why do successful people get things done at the last minute? Why does poverty persist? Why do organizations get stuck firefighting? Why do the lonely find it hard to make friends? These questions seem unconnected, yet Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir show that they are all are examples of a mind-set produced by scarcity.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from behavioral science and economics, Mullainathan and Shafir show that scarcity creates a similar psychology for everyone struggling to manage with less than they need. Busy people fail to manage their time efficiently for the same reasons the poor and those maxed out on credit cards fail to manage their money. The dynamics of scarcity reveal why dieters find it hard to resist temptation, why students and busy executives mismanage their time, and why sugarcane farmers are smarter after harvest than before. Once we start thinking in terms of scarcity and the strategies it imposes, the problems of modern life come into sharper focus.
Mullainathan and Shafir discuss how scarcity affects our daily lives, recounting anecdotes of their own foibles and making surprising connections that bring this research alive. Their book provides a new way of understanding why the poor stay poor and the busy stay busy, and it reveals not only how scarcity leads us astray but also how individuals and organizations can better manage scarcity for greater satisfaction and success.

评分千万不要以为这些人是一天到晚无所事事,其实很多人早就制定好了计划,目标也有了,动力也有了,但为什么就是无法有效的执行呢? 德鲁克在《卓有成效的管理者》中提到一个观点,有效率的管理者总是从如何规划自己的时间开始,因为时间这种资源如果浪费就无法挽回。 ...
评分作者对稀缺这一核心概念做了大量严谨而又合乎逻辑的说理,也用了大量的实例来解释稀缺这一核心概念,甚至不厌其烦的反反复复为我们解释带宽、余闲、管窥等几个子概念,好像生怕我们不理解、不相信似的。 耐着性子看到最后三章才发现,作者其实就想告诉我们要未雨绸缪、要储蓄...

评分邂逅:2014.1.图书馆; 旅程:2014.1.-2014.2.; 地点:坡县各处; Time is seriously scarcity to me!!!!!但似乎只是用新颖的心理学+经济学的行为经济学的材料来说很大白话的道理。缺少Ed所说的啊哈...两位作者的语言还是挺幽默的,但注释方面做得粗了一点。可以带走的point就是pro-poor policy的成功必须要有economic reasoning.

评分男神的书
评分稀缺性占用了你的带宽,影响了你的认知能力,而囿于稀缺性对你的思考模式的影响,你又难以走出。所以你需要slack。有启发,但书还是太啰嗦了。
