我们的生活总是与一种奇怪的错觉相随：我们的眼睛常常不可思议地欺骗自己，我们曾有的刻骨回忆常被自我意识纠正，我们总是自命不凡，即便今天的股票挣了一笔，也认为自己只是小试身手而已。
在这本人类行为学的经典之作中，普利策新闻奖得主约瑟夫·哈里南向我们展示了人类的一些有趣行为——我们怎样思考，怎样看，怎样记忆，怎样忘怀，是什么东西引诱我们的人生抉择变得非理性。
为了展示我们的真正生活，哈里南制作了一道行为学的大餐：有心理学和神经学做调料，有经济学和消费者行为学做陪衬，有地理学和航空知识做谈资，有橄榄球赛事和股票投资做饭后消遣。
如果你希望自己的生活不被无心的失误跟随，就看看哈里南在这本书里是怎样细心地帮你找到那些错误，并且告诉你怎样更正它，让你的生活更加完美，而不让美玉般纯洁的日子留下瑕疵。
We forget our passwords. We pay too much to go to the gym. We think we’d be happier if we lived in California (we wouldn’t), and we think we should stick with our first answer on tests (we shouldn’t). Why do we make mistakes? And could we do a little better?
We human beings have design flaws. Our eyes play tricks on us; our stories change in the retelling; and most of us are fairly sure we’re way above average. In Why We Make Mistakes, journalist Joseph T. Hallinan sets out to explore the captivating science of human error—how we think, see, remember, and forget, and how this sets us up for wholly irresistible mistakes.
In his quest to understand our imperfections, Hallinan delves into psychology, neuroscience, and economics, with forays into aviation, consumer behavior, geography, football, stock picking, and more. He discovers that some of the same qualities that make us efficient also make us error prone. Why We Make Mistakes is enlivened by real-life stories–of weathermen whose predictions are uncannily accurate and a witness who sent an innocent man to jail–and offers valuable advice, such as how to remember where you’ve hidden something important. He explains why multitasking is a bad idea, why men make errors women don’t, and why most people mistakenly believe San Diego is west of Reno. Why We Make Mistakes will open your eyes to the reasons behind your mistakes and have you vowing to do better the next time.
