内容简介

How can large bonuses sometimes make CEOs less productive?
Why is revenge so important to us?
How can confusing directions actually help us?
Why is there a difference between what we think will make us happy and what really makes us happy?

In his groundbreaking book, Predictably Irrational, social scientist Dan Ariely revealed the multiple biases that lead us to make unwise decisions. Now, in The Upside of Irrationality, he exposes the surprising negative and positive effects irrationality can have on our lives. Focusing on our behaviors at work and in relationships, he offers new insights and eye-opening truths about what really motivates us on the job, how one unwise action can become a long-term bad habit, how we learn to love the ones we’re with, and more. The Upside of Irrationality will change the way we see ourselves at work and at home—and cast our irrational behaviors in a more nuanced light.

Kids love to get messy and help out when you're whipping up a cake. Next time the children are at a loose end, turn to this book and help them pick out one of the fun and easy recipes to make. The book is divided into seasons, with all sorts of snacks, main courses, desserts and, of course, sweet treats to put a smile on everyone's face. Spring lends itself to snacks and light mains, like Salmon filo parcels and Creamy spinach pasta, as well as bakes like Sticky cinnamon buns - perfect for the school lunchbox. Summer is all about celebrating fresh beans, juicy berries and the warm weather, so the kids will enjoy making their own Pea and parmesan risotto, Raspberry shortcake and Sweet plum focaccia. When autumn comes and there is more time to spend indoors, it's the perfect season to have fun making pasta - children will delight in making different pasta shapes. Help them make Tuna ravioli and Belly button pasta parcels stuffed with pumpkin, or get the baking tins out and bake a scrumptious Lemon drizzle loaf. When the nights draw in, comfort food, indulgent bakes and festive treats are often on the menu. Cheesy grissini and Christmas spice cookies will keep the kids busy and happy, and make them forget all about the television! With more than 70 delicious recipes for children up to ten to make, it won't be long before they wake up asking: 'what shall we cook today?'

It's a great topic and Gladwell sets it up with some wonderful examples, but then the book begins to have problems. First, the book is a little too anecdotal. Anyone who has ever had a 200-level psych class knows that what looks like cause and effect may be accounted for by an independent variable that wasn't considered (e.g., concluding cancer rates are higher in some area of the country because of pollution, when in fact the area has higher smoking rates as well). Given this, I found that too often conclusions are made on basic handwaving, or that important aspects of studies are not mentioned. For instance, Gladwell describes a study were observers are asked to determine certain characteristics (such as truthfulness, consciensciousness, etc.) of students by observing their dorm rooms; but, never does he mention how exactly one would determine these characteristics of individuals in a scientific manner for comparison. Such omissions leave the reader a little less than convinced.

Gladwell is also careful to examine the flipside of this phenomenon: the times when "thin slicing" misleads us or gives us the wrong results. For instance, he presents examples where the mind works based on biases that don't necessarily enter the realm of conscious thought, but are nevertheless there (age, race, height, and so on).
