具體描述
Have you ever . . .
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.
用戶評價
##最近一直在思考有關思考的問題，也就是所謂的批判性思維。最大的收獲是理清瞭思考與語言的關係。這本書是第一本原版英文書，雖然走馬觀花的看瞭，但是收獲滿滿，很多網絡流傳的思考文章大都能從種子那個找到。
##有理在於人性中固有的自以為是的愚蠢，無理在於對人類一切包含風險、實驗和遊戲規則的活動的意義的否定，有時甚至不經意否定瞭人類的努力本身。學者抱著"普及常識"的意圖賺讀者的錢無可厚非，隻是這位社會學傢作者用一本書的時間宣揚不負責任的觀點，有些不應該。

##A basic economics psychology book worthy to read for thinking and inspiration, including 99 cognitive traps which were most likely stated in investment cognitive biases. Good to read again, refresh and remind oneself from time to time. Be mindful, but also don’t rack your brains too often.

##這本書的內容是不錯的，但原創性比較低，而且很難記住如此多的條目。有些例子很有趣，有時間整理下。
