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.
Gary Marcus is an award-wining Professor of Psychology at New York University and director of the NYU Center for Child Language. He has written three books about the origins and nature of the human mind, including Kluge (2008, Houghton Mifflin/Faber), and The Birth of the Mind (Basic Books, 2004, translated into 6 languages). He is also the editor of The Norton Psychology Reader, and the author of numerous science publications in leading journals, such as Science, Nature, Cognition, and Psychological Science. He is also the editor of the Norton Psychology Reader and has frequently written articles for the general public, in forums such as Wired, Discover, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times.

評分生動而又淺顯易讀的科普讀物~
評分嗯.是這麼迴事,可是這類書怎麼都這麼囉嗦呢
評分很棒的一本大眾心理書。小小的一本,裏麵提到的概念又很熟悉,所以很快就看完瞭。最重要的自然是最後一張作者給的13個建議。感覺中心思想就是,還是要理性思考。
評分The irrational part of the mind is actually an efficient evolution of mind. This book is only for popular readers.

評分学者们常说,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...
評分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...
評分2009-12-04 -------------------------- 如果你和我一样,是个为了各种琐事而日夜奔忙的可怜人,你很可能也常常对自己的大脑愤恨不已—这个骄傲地占据了我们全身最高战略点、对其他各个器官颐指气使、并被号称是决定了我们作为“万物之灵长”的地位的家伙,经常漫不经心地辜负...
