Invested time in something that, in hindsight, just wasn't worth it?
Paid too much in an eBay auction?
Continued to do something you knew was bad for you?
Sold stocks too late, or too early?
Taken credit for success, but blamed failure on external circumstances?
Backed the wrong horse?
These are examples of what the author calls cognitive biases, simple errors all of us make in day-to-day thinking. But by knowing what they are and how to identify them, we can avoid them and make better choices: whether in dealing with personal problems or business negotiations, trying to save money or earn profits, or merely working out what we really want in life—and strategizing the best way to get it.
Already an international bestseller, The Art of Thinking Clearly distills cutting-edge research from behavioral economics, psychology, and neuroscience into a clever, practical guide for anyone who's ever wanted to be wiser and make better decisions. A novelist, thinker, and entrepreneur, Rolf Dobelli deftly shows that in order to lead happier, more prosperous lives, we don't need extra cunning, new ideas, shiny gadgets, or more frantic hyperactivity—all we need is less irrationality.
Simple, clear, and always surprising, this indispensable book will change the way you think and transform your decision making—at work, at home, every day. From why you shouldn't accept a free drink to why you should walk out of a movie you don't like, from why it's so hard to predict the future to why you shouldn't watch the news, The Art of Thinking Clearly helps solve the puzzle of human reasoning.
Rolf Dobelli is a bestselling writer and entrepreneur. He is the founder of Zurich.Minds, a community of some of the world's most famed and distinguished thinkers, scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs, and a cofounder of getAbstract, the world's largest publisher of compressed knowledge.A novelist, sailor, and pilot, he lives in Lucerne, Switzerland.
如果是高中读或者大学翻翻应该还挺有用的,一些快速入门的思考方法,不过还是太浅了。当然作者在一开始也说了,他不是研究者,也没有助手,他所写的都是已知的理论,并且主要是用来指导自己的生活。所以各取所需就行了。按目录看看自己感兴趣的也行。关注到这个作者是因为之前的《stop reading the news》,写作风格倒真的很一致——小故事,小道理。

99个认知错误可以随时“对号入座”……

练英语而读,却收获颇丰。99个小道理加小事例解释,都是生活中会出现的,误区,惯性思维。比如,如果修路牌写着:“我是为了你而修路/保养”,那么因此而堵车的坏心情会缓解不少。还有很多消费行为,广告的陷阱。原来不是很了解,看了后科普点常识。会对行为改变?NONONO,明知故犯依旧。PS跟有的书内容都有重复。比如,怪诞心理学,把时间当朋友。。。
