A fascinating journey into the hidden psychological influences that derail our decision-making, Sway will change the way you think about the way you think.
Why is it so difficult to sell a plummeting stock or end a doomed relationship? Why do we listen to advice just because it came from someone “important”? Why are we more likely to fall in love when there’s danger involved? In Sway , renowned organizational thinker Ori Brafman and his brother, psychologist Rom Brafman, answer all these questions and more.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from the fields of social psychology, behavioral economics, and organizational behavior, Sway reveals dynamic forces that influence every aspect of our personal and business lives, including loss aversion (our tendency to go to great lengths to avoid perceived losses), the diagnosis bias (our inability to reevaluate our initial diagnosis of a person or situation), and the “chameleon effect” (our tendency to take on characteristics that have been arbitrarily assigned to us).
Sway introduces us to the Harvard Business School professor who got his students to pay $204 for a $20 bill, the head of airline safety whose disregard for his years of training led to the transformation of an entire industry, and the football coach who turned conventional strategy on its head to lead his team to victory. We also learn the curse of the NBA draft, discover why interviews are a terrible way to gauge future job performance, and go inside a session with the Supreme Court to see how the world’s most powerful justices avoid the dangers of group dynamics.
Every once in a while, a book comes along that not only challenges our views of the world but changes the way we think. In Sway, Ori and Rom Brafman not only uncover rational explanations for a wide variety of irrational behaviors but also point readers toward ways to avoid succumbing to their pull.

关注心理学的时间不算长,讲座听了一些,书看了几本,网上博客跟了几个,文献读了一些,千丝万缕的联系,颇有点complex network的感觉。其中最明显的,就是同样的实验理论会被不同的人在各处引用来支持各自的立论,耳熟能详之余,于翻陈出新处也常有所得。 《摇摆》一书,是《...
评分《Sway》是一本畅销书,很适合我在上下班的路上听。这本书跟 《Predictably Irrational 》很相似,讲的是人类思维种的非理性局限。此书大约讲了四种非理性思维惯性: 1. 人们总是害怕失去,对失去的恐惧超过了对得到的喜悦。 2. 第一印象决定了人们对事物的一贯态度...
评分序言——以案例的形式说明生活中以至于事关人类福祉的大事上都会出现不理智决策行为,用以表明不理智决策的普遍性。 第一章 机场跑道上的鲁莽决定——提出影响理性决策的原因有:损失规避、价值归因、判断偏差等。在损失规避中,提出“遭受损失带来的痛苦体验,往往要比赚钱...
评分《sway》,一本心理学小品书,不怎么厚。 我看的是中信翻译的版本,翻译的文字读起来口感总归会差些,但内容还是有些意思的。至少我觉得,从论证思路来看,作者还是本着“大胆假设小心求证”的科学态度的,不是瞎忽悠。 书中,作者用了大量真实有趣的例子和心理...
评分因为央视的《读书》推荐,选择买这个书。 虽然书背后的指导分类为经济学.普及读物,但我认为归类为心理学大概更好,虽然,书中极多的事例与经济以及管理极为密切。 作者认为,在一个数据越来越理性的时代,人们依然会被各种非理性的因素所左右。厌恶损失、牵累、价值...
