Stumbling on Happiness pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
A smart and funny book by a prominent Harvard psychologist, which uses groundbreaking research and (often hilarious) anecdotes to show us why we’re so lousy at predicting what will make us happy – and what we can do about it.
Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had expected. Why? As Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert explains, when people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes. Just as memory plays tricks on us when we try to look backward in time, so does imagination play tricks when we try to look forward.
Using cutting-edge research, much of it original, Gilbert shakes, cajoles, persuades, tricks and jokes us into accepting the fact that happiness is not really what or where we thought it was. Among the unexpected questions he poses: Why are conjoined twins no less happy than the general population? When you go out to eat, is it better to order your favourite dish every time, or to try something new? If Ingrid Bergman hadn’t gotten on the plane at the end of Casablanca, would she and Bogey have been better off?
Smart, witty, accessible and laugh-out-loud funny, Stumbling on Happiness brilliantly describes all that science has to tell us about the uniquely human ability to envision the future, and how likely we are to enjoy it when we get there.
From the Hardcover edition.

刚刚通过TEDtoChina看到了哈佛心理学教授丹·吉尔伯特的TED演讲视频 ,演讲了讲述了关于“合成快乐”的一些有趣的结论: 人脑前额叶皮质具有一种“模拟”的能力,它能根据自己不管是遗传的还是后天获取的经验,来“模拟判断”即将发生的事情是带给自己正向的和负向的感觉,并...
评分花了近一周的业余时间看完了《撞上快乐》,当初是冲着书名在当当上买了它,买之前我还专门去豆瓣上看了别人写的书评,并且一而再再而三地阅读这本书的简介,最终才决定买下来,记得还不便宜,二十多块钱吧。 当然,我是被“撞上快乐”这四个字给蒙蔽了,因为我本来是想学习下如...
