Amazing book, where every page surprises you with yourself!
Here are some master lines.. 😃
"the power and elegance of a theoretical model have blinded
students and scholars to a serious deficiency"
"The psychologist Paul Rozin, an expert on disgust, observed that a
single cockroach will completely wreck the appeal of a bowl of cherries,
but a cherry will do nothing at all for a bowl of cockroaches"
"Of course, what people acquire with a ticket is more than a chance to win; it is the
right to dream pleasantly of winning."
"Life, however, is usually a between-subjects experiment, in which you see
only one formulation at a time. "
"Experienced well-being is on average unaffected by marriage, not because marriage makes no difference to happiness butbecause it changes some aspects of life for the better and others for the worse."
"Sometimes scientific progress leaves us more puzzled than we were before."
"They will make better choices when they trusttheir critics to be sophisticated and fair, and when they expect their
decision to be judged by how it was made, not only by how it turned out."
Outstanding book! 😀 If you have not already, read it now!!
An expert on disgust, I might love that job!😜
