Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink? Why do patients remember long medical procedures as less painful than short ones? Why do home sellers demand prices they wouldn't dream of paying if they were home buyers? Why does the line at the grocery store always slow down when we join it? In this book, Harvard psychologist Gilbert describes the foibles of imagination and illusions of foresight that cause each of us to misconceive our tomorrows and misestimate our satisfactions. Using the latest research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics, Gilbert reveals what we have discovered about the uniquely human ability to imagine the future, our capacity to predict how much we will like it when we get there, and why we seem to know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become.--From publisher description.

Happiness (HBR Emotional Intelligence Series)

¿Por qué se le perdona al ser amado antes una infidelidad que dejar los platos sucios en el fregadero? ¿Por qué la gente que ve pagaría más por evitar quedarse ciega que un ciego por recuperar la visión? ¿Por qué la gente que comparte mesa se empeña en pedir platos diferentes en lugar de pedir lo que de verdad les apetece? ¿Por qué los pacientes recuerdan los largos tratamientos médicos como menos dolorosos que los cortos? ¿Por qué los compradores son más felices cuando no pueden devolver algo que han comprado? ¿Por qué no podemos recordar una canción mientras escuchamos otra? ¿Por qué la fila para pagar en el supermercado siempre se ralentiza en cuanto nos incorporamos a ella?.... Un libro tan divertido como inteligente.

Tropezar con la felicidad

Do we consciously cause our actions, or do they happen to us? Philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, theologians, and lawyers have long debated the existence of free will versus determinism. With the publication of The Illusion of Conscious Will in 2002, Daniel Wegner proposed an innovative and provocative answer: the feeling of conscious will is created by the mind and brain; it helps us to appreciate and remember our authorship of the things our minds and bodies do. Yes, we feel that we consciously will our actions, Wegner says, but at the same time, our actions happen to us. Although conscious will is an illusion ("the most compelling illusion"), it serves as a guide to understanding ourselves and to developing a sense of responsibility and morality. Wegner was unable to undertake a second edition of the book before his death in 2013; this new edition adds a foreword by Wegner's friend, the prominent psychologist Daniel Gilbert, and an introduction by Wegner's colleague Thalia Wheatley. Approaching conscious will as a topic of psychological study, Wegner examines cases both when people feel that they are willing an act that they are not doing and when they are not willing an act that they in fact are doing in such phenomena as hypnosis, Ouija board spelling, and dissociative identity disorder. Wegner's argument was immediately controversial (called "unwarranted impertinence" by one scholar) but also compelling. Engagingly written, with wit and clarity, The Illusion of Conscious Will was, as Daniel Gilbert writes in the foreword to this edition, Wegner's "magnum opus."

Introducing Psychology

Com base em inúmeras pesquisas em psicologia, neurociência cognitiva, filosofia e economia comportamental, Felicidade por acaso apresenta o que os cientistas descobriram sobre a capacidade exclusivamente humana de imaginar o futuro, e o que podemos fazer para tentar aproveitá-lo quando chegarmos lá. Edição revista e atualizada. Somos obcecados pela felicidade. É fácil imaginar que, se ganhássemos na loteria, explodiríamos de tanta alegria. No entanto, para Daniel Gilbert, professor de psicologia na Universidade Harvard, não é bem isso o que acontece. Quando aquilo que tínhamos idealizado finalmente se concretiza, nosso contentamento não dura tanto quanto esperávamos. Apesar da nossa obsessão, nunca seremos tão felizes quanto a imaginação nos promete. Assim como as ilusões de ótica que conseguem enganar nossos cérebros, nossos sonhos de felicidade não passam de miragens. Gilbert revela que nada sai como planejado porque a vida está sempre nos moldando e nos fazendo evoluir. A plasticidade da mente também explica nossa incrível capacidade de encontrar recursos para enfrentar as situações mais difíceis e aproveitar momentos de alegria. Acessível, inteligente e divertido, este livro esclarece de forma brilhante por que somos tão ruins em prever o que nos trará felicidade, e o que podemos fazer a respeito. "Você sabe o que te faz feliz? Este livro incrível vai derrubar suas crenças mais profundas sobre como a nossa mente funciona." — Steven D. Levitt, autor de Freakonomics "Uma leitura deliciosa. Se você tem a mínima curiosidade sobre a condição humana, precisa ler este livro." — Malcolm Gladwell, autor de Blink "Daniel Gilbert compartilha com os leitores sua brilhante descoberta sobre as peculiaridades da nossa mente e nos conduz de forma fascinante em direção à felicidade." — Daniel Goleman, autor de Inteligência emocional "Um livro fascinante que explora nossas equivocadas tentativas de encontrar a felicidade." — Time

Miért bocsátjuk meg hamarabb társunknak a hűtlenséget, mint azt, hogy megint nem mosogatott el? Miért rendelünk mást az étteremben, mint vacsorapartnerünk, még akkor is, ha valójában ugyanazt szeretnénk enni? Miért érezzük úgy, hogy az a sor, amelyikbe épp beálltunk, azonnal lelassul? Mindenki a boldogságot keresi, de – tudományos szempontból legalábbis – rossz módszert választunk: megpróbáljuk megbecsülni, jövőbeli önmagunkat vajon mi teszi majd boldoggá, és afelé igyekszünk haladni. Ezt a becslést azonban rengeteg rejtett gondolkodási illúzió torzítja, ezért így nagyjából ugyanannyi esélyünk van megtalálni a boldogságot, mint ha csak úgy véletlenül rábukkannánk. Daniel Gilbert, a Harvard pszichológiaprofesszorának fantasztikus humorral és könnyedséggel megírt könyvéből megtudhatjuk, hogyan működik az emberi agy, a képzelet és az emlékezet, és hogy miért nem tudjuk úgy elképzelni a jövőt, s így a boldogságunkat, amilyen az valóban lesz vagy lehetne. Választ kapunk arra is, kiküszöbölhetjük-e ezeket a torzításokat, hogy jövőbeli önmagunk elégedettebb lehessen.

Hogyan gondolkodjunk jól arról, mi tesz boldoggá bennünket?

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) which include free radicals, peroxides, singlet oxygen, ozone, and nitrogen monoxide and dioxide free radicals, is an area of intense research. This volume covers (1) the destruction of cellular function by ROS resulting in pathological states; (2) the protection by ROS of an organism against invading organisms that cause infections; and (3) the role of ROS in normal physiological processes. Designed for beginning graduate students, this book gives a concise overview of the field.

Reactive Oxygen Species in Biological Systems: An Interdisciplinary Approach

De ce sunt oamenii mai dispuşi să îşi ierte partenerii pentru infidelităţi decât pentru faptul de a fi lăsat vase murdare în chiuvetă? De ce persoanele care văd vor plăti mai mult pentru a evita să orbească decât vor plăti orbii pentru redobândirea vederii? De ce doi tovarăşi care vor lua masa împreună insistă să comande feluri diferite, în loc să îşi ia ce doresc cu adevărat? De ce par porumbeii a avea o ţintă atât de bună; de ce nu ne putem aminti un cântec când ascultăm altul şi de ce coada de la magazin pare că merge mereu mai încet odată ce ne aşezăm noi la ea? În această carte genială, plină de spirit şi accesibilă, renumitul psiholog de la Harvard Daniel Gilbert descrie toate festele pe care ni le joacă imaginaţia şi toate iluziile de anticipare care ne fac să ne planificăm prost ziua de mâine şi să ne estimăm greşit satisfacţiile. Aducând la viaţă cele mai noi cercetări ştiinţifice în psihologie, în neuroştiinţele cognitive, filosofie şi în economia comportamentală, Gilbert dezvăluie ce au descoperit oamenii de ştiinţă despre capacitatea umană unică de a imagina viitorul şi de a prezice cât de mult ne va plăcea când vom ajunge în acel moment. Cu o abilitate deosebită de analiză şi cu o scriitură spumoasă, Gilbert explică de ce părem să ştim atât de puţine despre inima şi mintea oamenilor care suntem pe cale să devenim. „O nouă carte fascinantă care explorează încercările noastre uneori nereuşite de a găsi fericirea.“ – Time „O drumeţie spirituală, pătrunzătoare şi extrem de amuzantă prin idiosincraziile imaginaţiei umane.“ – New Scientist

Imagine being part of a wholly transformed body of Christ that truly reflects the character of God to the world! What if God's people weren't tossed to and fro with every wind of the devil's deceit and every wave of secular culture, but instead stood firm on the foundation of sound, biblical doctrine? This can only happen if Christians understand and construct their spiritual lives on The Big 5 foundational doctrines of the faith. Dr. Daniel Gilbert is an international speaker, theologian, ministry consultant, and writer. Passionate about the transforming power of God to help people enter into a deeper relationship with their Creator, Dr. Gilbert wrote The Big 5 so that every Christian can discover-or re-discover-the enduring biblical doctrines and foundational principles on which believers of all backgrounds can base their lives. In this book, you'll learn about five core beliefs: -Sola scriptura: how Scripture is the entirely trustworthy Word of God, which provides us with essential knowledge of God's character and how He designed us to live -Solus Christus: how Jesus Christ is our Lord, not a liar or a lunatic, and the only real path to life -Sola gratia: how grace, the single escape route from spiritual death, is God's gift to all -Sola fide: how committing our lives to Christ through faith leads us to do good works, but it's faith not works that leads to salvation -Soli deo gloria: how bringing glory to God in all things is our ultimate purpose and gives meaning to our daily lives -PLUS bonus workbook sections are included to help you reflect on each of these Big 5 of our faith! Free yourself from human-inspired ideas and habits that sound or feel good, and instead let the foundational truths of Christ's teaching transform you. Pick up your copy of The Big 5 today and become part of the new reformation the church needs now more than ever!
