As men, we often compare with women to say that we are rational and that they are emotional;
As science-related men, we often compare ourselves with liberal arts men who say they are rational and they are emotional.
As a computer professional with strong logic, we are more likely to be compared with science men who study other majors, saying that they are more rational, and they are more emotional.
However, after reading the book weird behavior, I can't help but ask myself, are I really rational? Or is my behavior rational?
The answer makes me a bit confused-not all, I also have a lot of irrational behavior.
Let's review the title of the 13 chapters:
- The truth of relativity-why do we like comparison and comparison?
- Imbalance between supply and demand-why is Pearl priceless?
- Free price-why does the gift cost us more?
- The cost of social norms-why are we happy to work and make money?
- The Influence of sexual excitement-why is it more intense than we thought?
- Drag-and-drop bad habits and self-control-why can't we always do anything we swear?
- Ownership personality-why are we attached to everything we own?
- Multiple Choices-why do we want all the doors to open?
- Expected effect-why can we think about success?
- The magic of price-why do we like to buy expensive things?
- Weakness of human nature-why are we dishonest?
- Company privileges-why can we cheat with cash?
- Beer and free lunch-What is behavior economics and where is free lunch?
For the thirteen situations described in the book, in some cases, I can maintain my own rationality and recognize the essence of these situations. In many cases, your behavior is very strange and irrational, just as most people in the book do.
All the conclusions in this book are based on experiments. The conclusions drawn here are convincing to some extent.
However, we should continue to stick to our own rational thinking, strengthen our own rationality based on these situations, or accept such a reality and indulge in our own strange behavior; or, on the basis of sticking to your own rationality, using these irrational conclusions to seek a certain benefit for yourself (this seems to be in line with the 11th points, this is an irrational action )?
I believe everyone will come to their own conclusions after reading this book ,:)
