тАв Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink?
тАв Why will sighted people pay more to avoid going blind than blind people will pay to regain their sight?
тАв Why do dining companions insist on ordering different meals instead of getting what they really want?
тАв Why do pigeons seem to have such excellent aim; why canтАЩt we remember one song while listening to another; and why does the line at the grocery store always slow down the moment we join it?
In this brilliant book, renowned Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert describes the foibles of imagination and illusions of foresight that cause each of us to misconceive our tomorrows and misestimate our satisfactions. With penetrating insight and sparkling prose, Gilbert explains why we seem to know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become.
