Harvard government professor Sandel (Public Philosophy) dazzles in this sweeping survey of hot topics—the recent government bailouts, the draft, surrogate pregnancies, same-sex marriage, immigration reform and reparations for slavery—that situates various sides in the debates in the context of timeless philosophical questions and movements. Sandel takes utilitarianism, Kant's categorical imperative and Rawls's theory of justice out of the classroom, dusts them off and reveals how crucial these theories have been in the construction of Western societies—and how they inform almost every issue at the center of our modern-day polis. The content is dense but elegantly presented, and Sandel has a rare gift for making complex issues comprehensible, even entertaining (see his sections entitled Shakespeare versus the Simpsons and What Ethics Can Learn from Jack Benny and Miss Manners), without compromising their gravity. With exegeses of Winnie the Pooh, transcripts of Bill Clinton's impeachment hearing and the works of almost every major political philosopher, Sandel reveals how even our most knee-jerk responses bespeak our personal conceptions of the rights and obligations of the individual and society at large. Erudite, conversational and deeply humane, this is truly transformative reading.

At the height of his career as a journalist, Tony Schwartz hit an unexpected wall.  Why did success suddenly feel so empty?  How could he add richer meaning to his everyday life?  What guides could he trust on the road to wisdom?
During the next five years his search for answers took him from a meditation retreat in the mountains of Utah to a biofeedback laboratory in Kansas, from a peak-performance workshop at a tennis academy in Florida to a right-brain drawing course in Boston.  Blending the hunger of a seeker with a journalist's hard-headed inquiry, he discovered the best teachers and techniques for inner development--and identified the potential pitfalls and false gurus he met along the way.  What he found dramatically changed his life.  It may change yours as well.

★这是一部文辞优美又条理分明的“倾听”指南
为什么人只有一张嘴巴，却需要两只耳朵？
成功沟通的秘诀：能言善道不如洗耳恭听！
想想你对上次那位愿意听你诉说的人有多感激，立刻就能了解倾听有多重要。
说与听，是沟通的两大要件；但是大家都急着说，却少有人用心听。夫妻情愫的日渐淡漠、亲子关系的剑拔弩张与朋友之间的疏离冷落，长期的沟通不良（甚至不沟通）往往是主因，而罪魁祸首正是“听障”：一方或双方不愿倾听。
话虽人人会说，可不是人人会听；倾听需要学习。尼可斯博士深知“善听”有多重要，欲克服“听障”又有多困难，三十多年心理咨询及家庭临床治疗的丰富经验，让他归纳出成为一个更好的倾听者的技巧：先搁置自己的需求，让说者充分表达想法与情绪；专心在倾听上，适时（而非时时）传达你的关心；抱持同理、开放的态度，不加入自己的批判。
本书以求助者和作者自身的经验为始，有系统的分享深入浅出的解析、令人感同身受的实例，一路引领我们找出症结，学习技巧，克服障碍，重拾回良好的人际关系并再发现对他人的关怀。
不论是亲密伴侣、儿女、亲朋好友还是同事，倾听，永远是最贴心的礼物。而且悄悄告诉你，回礼更是丰厚。

《心理类型》内容简介：当现代精神分析学大师弗洛伊德的著作和学说在我国引起强烈反响时，这一流派的另一位泰斗——荣格的思想迄今却鲜有介绍。为此，让我们把荣格这一在西方思想界有着深远影响的代表作《心理类型》奉献给广大读者，以便使读者可能较全面深人地了解这位心理分析的杰出天才。
荣格在西方思想界堪称怪才，他的思想博大精深而又晦涩难懂。因此，在相当长的一段时间内，人们对他一直讳莫如深，怯而止步。但是，随着时间的推移，人们越来越惊奇地发现，当代许多新思潮、新流派、新观点都或多或少地与荣格的思想有关，或从他那里得到验证，荣格的思想成了许多著名思想家的先导，荣格似乎成了一位预言家。这样，即使在西方，荣格也仿佛成了一位新发现的人物，他的理论体系正越来越受到普遍的重视。

20世纪60年代人口爆炸和全球饥荒令人忧心忡忡，70年代资源枯竭甚嚣尘上，80年代酸雨来了，90年代轮到瘟疫。21世纪初，全世界为全球变暖集体焦虑。可是，这些恐慌（除了最后一个）全都来了又走了。人类只是运气太好吗？
主流的悲观论调宣称情况正在越变越糟，但他们已经这么说了整整两百年。
再看看实际情况。食品供给、收入和人均寿命步步走高，疾病、儿童死亡率和暴力事件轮番下降；生活必需品和奢侈品确实变得更便宜了；继亚洲摆脱贫困之后，非洲也跟上了它的脚步；互联网、手机和集装箱运输前所未有地丰富了人们的生活。生活实际上越变越好，全球皆然。
本书不光阐述了情况怎样越变越好，还解释了原因。繁荣来自人人为人人效力。始于十多万年前的交换和专业分工习惯，创造出加速改善人类生活水平的集体大脑。
这本大胆的书涵盖了人类的整个历史，从石器时代说到互联网，从旧制度的积重难返讲到蒸汽机的发明，从新近的人口爆炸谈到气候变化可能的后果。天灾人祸固然必不可免，但多亏了人类发明创造的无穷能力，21世纪必将实现巨大的经济繁荣，最可能发生的不是气候的灾难性变化，而是中国人、印度人、非洲人，都过得像美国人那样欣欣向荣。

Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they make mistakes? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell? Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right - a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong. Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)" offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception - how it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it.

《人类行为的经济分析》集中体现并代表了贝克尔的学术思想和学术成就，这是因为，首先，贝克尔在本书中第一次明确阐述了他的研究方法，他的那些研究成果不过是这种研究方法的逻辑延伸和具体化，换言之，读者完全可以循着这一思路在人文科学领域里进行任何一个问题的研究；其次，《人类行为的经济分析》是一部特殊的文集，绝大部分章节的内容由贝克尔从他已发表的诸多论述中精心采撷、编篡而成，各个章节具有相对独立性，各章之间又彼此关联。

Bestselling author Michael Shermer explains how evolution shaped the modern economy-and why people are so irrational about money How did we make the leap from ancient hunter-gatherers to modern consumers and traders? Why do people get so emotional and irrational about bottom-line financial and business decisions? Is the capitalist marketplace a sort of Darwinian organism, evolved through natural selection as the fittest way to satisfy our needs? In this eye-opening exploration, author and psychologist Michael Shermer uncovers the evolutionary roots of our economic behavior. Drawing on the new field of neuroeconomics, Shermer investigates what brain scans reveal about bargaining, snap purchases, and establishing trust in business. He scrutinizes experiments in behavioral economics to understand why people hang on to losing stocks, why negotiations disintegrate into tit-for-tat disputes, and why money does not make us happy. He brings together astonishing findings from psychology, biology, and other sciences to describe how our tribal ancestry makes us suckers for brands, why researchers believe cooperation unleashes biochemicals similar to those released during sex, why free trade promises to build alliances between nations, and how even capuchin monkeys get indignant if they don't get a fair reward for their work.

Richard Thaler challenges the received economic wisdom by revealing many of the paradoxes that abound even in the most painstakingly constructed transactions. He presents literate, challenging, and often funny examples of such anomalies as why the winners at auctions are often the real losers - they pay too much and suffer the "winner's curse" - why gamblers bet on long shots at the end of a losing day, why shoppers will save on one appliance only to pass up the identical savings on another, and why sports fans who wouldn't pay more than $200 for a Super Bowl ticket wouldn't sell one they own for less than $400. He also demonstrates that markets do not always operate with the traplike efficiency we impute to them.

本书作者德尔纳用他自己编制的引人入胜的计算机模拟程序，揭示了我们思维中的这些缺陷。他的例子――有时是开心的，有时是吓人的――和他那“梳脑”思维实验，使我们认识到应该如何处理复杂问题。这些实例使本书成为一件矫正工具，一种明智的规划和决策指南，使商业经理、决策者以及面临由此及彼日常挑战的每一个人的思维技巧更加敏锐。本书将改变我们构思变化的方法本身，使我们对成功之路的判断能力得到提高。

Revised and Expanded Edition. In this age of supposed scientific enlightenment, many people still believe in mind reading, past-life regression theory, New Age hokum, and alien abduction. A no-holds-barred assault on popular superstitions and prejudices, with more than 80,000 copies in print, "Why People Believe Weird Things" debunks these nonsensical claims and explores the very human reasons people find otherworldly phenomena, conspiracy theories, and cults so appealing. In an entirely new chapter, "Why "Smart" People Believe in Weird Things," Michael Shermer takes on science luminaries like physicist Frank Tippler and others, who hide their spiritual beliefs behind the trappings of science. Shermer, science historian and true crusader, also reveals the more dangerous side of such illogical thinking, including Holocaust denial, the recovered-memory movement, the satanic ritual abuse scare, and other modern crazes. "Why People Believe Strange Things" is an eye-opening resource for the most gullible among us and those who want to protect them.

The Believing Brain is divided into four parts. Part I, “Journeys of Belief,” includes personal narratives of belief, including that of the author; Part II, “The Biology of Belief,” bores into the brain and explains how the mind works to form beliefs, from thoughts and ideas down to neurons firing across tiny synaptic gaps as they talk to one another chemically; Part III, “Belief in Things Unseen” applies my theory beliefs to the afterlife, God, aliens, and conspiracies; and Part IV, “Belief in Things Seen,” examines the role of beliefs in politics, economics, and ideologies, explains how belief confirmation works to assure that we are always right, and then explores the history of scientific exploration, from the world to the cosmos, and how science works to overcome the power of belief.
The Believing Brain begins with three personal belief stories. The first story is about a man whom you will have never heard of but who had a profound and life-changing experience in the wee hours of the morning many decades ago that still haunts him to this day and drives him to search for ultimate meaning in the cosmos. The second story is about a man whom you will most definitely have heard of as he is one of the greatest scientists of our age, and he too had a life-changing early-morning experience that confirmed his decision to make a religious leap of faith. The third story is Dr. Shermer’s own passage from believer to skeptic, and what he learned along the way that drove him into a professional career of the scientific study of belief systems.
From narrative stories Dr. Shermer turns to an architecture of belief systems, how they are formed, nourished, reinforced, changed, and extinguished, first conceptually through the two theoretical constructs he developed called patternicity and agenticity, and then delve deeper into how these cognitive processes evolved and what purpose they served in the lives of our ancestors as well as in our lives today. Dr. Shermer then bores deeper into the brain, right down to the neurophysiology of belief system construction at the single neuron level, and then reconstructs from the bottom up how brains form beliefs. Then we shall examine how belief systems operate with regard to belief in religion, the afterlife, God, extraterrestrials, conspiracies, politics, economics, and ideologies of all stripes, and then consider how a host of cognitive processes convince us that our beliefs are truths. In the final chapters we will consider how we know any of our beliefs are believable, which patterns are true and which false, which agents are real and which are chimera, and how science works as the ultimate pattern detection device.
In the end, all of us are trying to make sense of the world, and nature has gifted us with a double-edge sword that cuts for and against. On one edge, our brains are the most complex and sophisticated information processing machines in the universe, capable of understanding not only the universe itself but of understanding the process of understanding. On the other edge, by the very same process of forming beliefs about the universe and ourselves, we are also more capable than any other species of self-deception and illusion, of fooling ourselves while we are trying to avoid being fooled by nature.
