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.
小的时候没有觉得,长大后,越来越发现一个绝望的现实,那就是穷人更穷,富人更富,贫富差距是在逐渐拉大的。一直以为这种差距是因为富人有能力给孩子提供更多的社会资源,所处的平台不一样,视野也不一样,可以利用的人力物力资本不一样,但是还有一个很大的差距,就在于心...
評分 評分偶然在微信朋友圈里看到介绍一篇《稀缺》的书评,读过之后就立即把书买了下来。吸引我的不是别的,正是“稀缺”这个主题。书的引言里说描写了书作者塞德希尔面临的忙碌和焦虑,相信这个也是很多职场人的切身体会,至少我深有感触: 我的工作是IT技术支持,工作职责就是解决客...
評分我没看过这本书,为什么要写书评? 这是我至今唯一一本没有看过就写书评的书。我看了目录和其他人的书评,关于匮乏,我有话要讲。 是心态。 如果缺时间,就不会想要15分钟后再吃棉花糖,就不会坚持锻炼,就不会觉得睡眠是最大的投资。 如果缺钱,就不会考虑学习,不会考虑投...
評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。 ...

评分邂逅:2014.1.圖書館; 旅程:2014.1.-2014.2.; 地點:坡縣各處; Time is seriously scarcity to me!!!!!但似乎隻是用新穎的心理學+經濟學的行為經濟學的材料來說很大白話的道理。缺少Ed所說的啊哈...兩位作者的語言還是挺幽默的,但注釋方麵做得粗瞭一點。可以帶走的point就是pro-poor policy的成功必須要有economic reasoning.
