Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-28 00:00:00 Jesse Ouellette Why did our brains apparently evolve to include several different "players" with opposing goals for our behavior? Why do we get pleasure simply from thinking about attractive people? Why do we carefully watch our odometers to ensure we catch the moment when our cars hit 10,000 miles? These, and many other questions I'd never thought to ask, are answered (or at least speculated about) in Picoeconomics, which may be the best reading surprise I've had in the last year. The book itself is academic and dry, but contains shocking amounts of original and interesting content (once you get used to the prose). I read a lot of psych books, but Ainslie, writing 20 years before Thinking Fast and Slow, offers material not found in any other books I've seen. He certainly gave me a few new ways to think about the human condition. Recommended for: Very patient people; people deeply fascinated by human self-sabotage and self-regulation; anyone seriously considering graduate study in psychology, economics, or behavioral economics. |
Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-11 00:00:00 Davidd Gongora This book upset me I found the advice to be out of date and if the person has a lot of trauma it could be dangerous. I would suggest that it be done with a therapist taking some of the advice out of the equation. I don't think rethinking abuse would be helpful. If someone has a relatively good childhood it would be more helpful. |
