「兩位獨步全球的社會心理學家合力出擊， 這是你在大學裡從未聽過的經典課程，別再錯過第二次了！」 ──哈佛大學心理學教授，丹尼爾．吉伯特   聰明人懂算計，有智慧的人懂行為心理。 5種心理智慧，教你避開思維陷阱， 在資訊迷霧中，做出最睿智的判斷。 不靠利誘威脅，無須唇槍舌戰， 有心理智慧的人運用某些簡單技巧，就能輕鬆達到想要的變革！ ◎報稅單上，簽名欄位在前或在後，哪個比較會誠實申報？ ◎丹麥的駕駛僅有4%願意器捐，瑞典卻完全相反，難道瑞典人比較有社會良心？ ◎沒人願意為了社會福利多繳稅，卻願意為了「儲蓄保險」乖乖繳錢，但這筆錢真的是用在自己身上嗎？ ◎若要提醒勿亂丟垃圾，花朵圖示跟眼睛圖示，哪個比較有效？ ◎為何一般人偏好80%是瘦肉的牛排，勝過20%是肥肉的牛排？   美國最重量級的社會心理學家，康乃爾的吉洛維奇與史丹佛的羅斯，爬梳社會心理學的重要研究，擷取精華重點，從實際例子檢視你我可能會落入的思維陷阱。小從個人減重、消費行為，大至政策包裝、全球暖化，他們將提出意想不到的解決方案。 解釋人類行為，必須從影響我們思維的情境驅力開始理解，尤其是那些最不被看見的幽微細節。與聰明人不同的是，有智慧的人理解希望、恐懼、熱情與驅力對人所產生的影響，因此，他們會是讓員工感到幸福的老闆、將國家帶向下一步的政治人物、耐心陪伴叛逆期小孩的爸媽。理解這些驅力，我們就能在往後的決定上，有更睿智的理解與處理能力，進而成為房間裡最有智慧的人。   【各界推薦】 ◎台大經濟系副教授馮勃翰...
