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.
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。
評分開始覺得很好,後來漸漸覺得這本書的內容寫得很亂,就是定瞭個大主題後就開始信馬由繮。有些小實驗挺有趣,但這本書說講的道理不深,很錶象。
評分The irrational part of the mind is actually an efficient evolution of mind. This book is only for popular readers.
評分最後一章之前都屬於科普風格,許多例子並不新穎,但整體讀起來也挺有趣。最後一章有點兒開始傳授智慧,畫風突變的感覺
評分生動而又淺顯易讀的科普讀物~
作者开头提到一个脊柱的不好,要几个交叉脊椎骨才是更合理设计,以及鼻子不必要的凸起,眼睛进化的缺陷出现盲点,容易腐烂的牙齿以及恼人的第三磨牙,易受伤的皮肤等等,都是拙劣的产品。 然后他提到infantcide,说按照道金斯的说法,既然人是gene的繁殖vessel,为何会有父母会...
評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...

評分认知方面不合理的地方 这类书现在的确已经非常多了,新颖东西不多。但是如果从前读的不多,这本还是可以的。为什么我还要读呢?真是验证了书里说的confirmation bias. 结尾的几条建议摘录下,有几条很像基本统计课的概念。 1. 考虑下alternative hypothesis 从正方和反方都...
