From the New York Times best-selling author and host of Hidden Brain comes a thought-provoking look at the role of self-deception in human flourishing.
Self-deception does terrible harm to us, to our communities, and to the planet. But if it is so bad for us, why is it ubiquitous? In Useful Delusions, Shankar Vedantam and Bill Mesler argue that, paradoxically, self-deception can also play a vital role in our success and well-being.
GT+me:自欺欺人对我们、我们的社区和地球造成了可怕的伤害。但是,如果这对我们如此不利,为什么它无处不在?尚卡尔·韦丹坦(Shankar Vedantam)和比尔·梅斯勒(Bill Mesler)在《有用的自欺欺人》中指出:自相矛盾的是,自欺欺人对我们的成功和幸福也起着至关重要的作用。
The lies we tell ourselves sustain our daily interactions with friends, lovers, and coworkers. They can explain why some people live longer than others, why some couples remain in love and others don’t, why some nations hold together while others splinter.
GT+me:我们用自己的谎言维持了我们与朋友、恋人和同事的日常互动。他们可以解释为什么有些人的寿命比其他人长,为什么有些夫妻仍然相爱,而另一些则成为路人,为什么有些国家团结在一起而另一些却合不来。
Filled with powerful personal stories and drawing on new insights in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, Useful Delusions offers a fascinating tour of what it really means to be human.
GT+me:《有用的自欺欺人》充斥着有说服力的真实故事,并利用心理学、神经科学和哲学方面的新见解,告诉我们:人到底是怎么回事。
