★《人類大歷史》作者哈拉瑞 推薦 ★《經濟學人》《金融時報》《紐約時報》《出版人週刊》 一致好評 世界愈來愈複雜,人類卻未正視自己的無知。 如何才能避免自以為是, 進而提高我們的決策準確率,獲得更好的結果? 這是一本精準有趣的人類智慧使用手冊, 將帶你從認知科學的全新角度去了解人的思考和心智, 為生活、理財和未來,做出最佳選擇! 其實我們沒有自己想得那麼聰明,但並不表示我們不能生活得更好。 懂得在知識上謙卑、認清理解的侷限, 然後將他人的智慧占為己用,我們就能為每件事做出正確的選擇。 在社交媒體盛行、假新聞層出不窮的時代,人們搞不清楚自己不懂哪些事,對自身的無知渾然不覺,許多評論和錯誤觀念才會難以改變,本書正是要探討這種「知識的假象」。 人類之所以能主宰地球,是因為無與倫比的群體思考能力,正因為智慧存在於眾人之中,不屬於任何個人,因此我們可以在集思廣益之下修正弱點和錯誤,運用知識共同體打造出異常強大的社會頭腦。當人類真正「知己所不知」,明白自己也是問題的一環,才能在需要時獲得協助,填補知識上的漏洞。無論是投資理財、感情觸礁、購買房產、人際關係等,我們可以擷取知識共同體的資源,克服與生俱來的限制,做出更聰明適切的決定。 【熱烈好評】 ◎本書所提出的觀點不僅能幫助我們思考公共事物,也可以應用到個人面向。讀起來峰迴路轉,讓我們看到人類的智能為何可以既淺薄又強大──端看你如何善用群體的智慧。——馮勃翰...
