万万没想到:用理工科思维理解世界

Rate this book
《万万没想到:用理工科思维理解世界》以理性思维取胜,作者糅合了大量的前沿新知,得出了自己的批判性认识。它是反不靠谱的常识性的思维惯性,是反常识的;它是反听着无害但喝起来有毒的心灵鸡汤,是反成功学的;它要用“科研的格调”来理解和认识世界,你需要有靠谱的判断力。全书的内核是用理性的思维理解世界。
作者常用有趣的实验、数据来解读感性的事物,其理工科思维涉及行为经济学、认知心理学、社会学、统计学、物理等许多学科,以前沿的科学视角解读生活,为人们提供了认知的新方法。读完本书相当于精读了十几本经过筛选、再创作及通俗化处理的巨著,不仅有趣还十分有营养。

内容很精彩,这么多随笔要是能系统性整理下会更出色

学文科的我,正好需要这种理科的思维来启发生活的智慧。
最让我印象深刻的就是谈概率的一节。这个世界最后获得成功的就是那些平常看起来不怎么样的人。因为有自知之明的人清楚自己的位置,不敢贸然尝试。而那些看起来并不够格的人却因为多数人的自知之明加上一点偶然的运气而得到自己想要的。

一本平庸又很没素质的读书笔记。
陈词滥调80%都是直接拿来别人的东西,为数不多自己的论述还都是废话,并且很多都有明显的逻辑漏洞,就这还物理学家,弃理从文想必是研究搞不下去了吧。
作者唯一的成就就是读透了《每周工作四小时》并且忠实践行,服了

I give this book 4 stars, but soon, I changed my mind. It deserved 5 stars on my second thought. Because I may need to read it again some day.

The author Weigang.Wan, according to himself, is an ex-physicist and the author of "100 thousands of why"(new version), which determins his words are mostly convinced by real and dependable datum. I think write articles based on effective datum is a basic requirement if the book could be decided as a benifit for human. But besides of this basic factor, Mr Wan's word are also full of new ideas, new insight. For the same and common occurrence, he may provide a totally new perspective to anaylze and reinterpret.

Just because of the first several articles of this book, I booked his special column in "igetget"(Chinese name is 得到) app. And found there he read more books and provide more ideas which are full of new veiwpoints.

I like his idea of "Deep reading"(Chinese saying is 强力研读), that is a efficient way to read a series of books, but may be tired since you have to devote more attentions and efforts.

本书分三大章,第一章主要突出作者希望读者可以用科学实验结果来审查一些司空见惯的常识,人做判断的时候有两种机制, 一种是“科学家机制”,先有证据再下结论;另一种是“律师机制”,先有了结论再去找证据,而大部分人只要开始相信一个东西了,就会主动寻找能够增强这种相信的信息,乃至不顾事实。刚开始读这一张感觉很有意思,但是思绪太零散,并不知道作者到底想要表达什么,读了序才了解并发现第一章为后面两章做了很好的铺垫。第二章通过分析当下社会对励志方法论的热衷,展开了从科学角度看待这些方法论的讨论,作者批判了很多励志哲学,但也从科学的角度总结了一些实用的成功方法,很值得借鉴学习。这一章是我觉得全书中最有用的部分。第三章应该算是对第二章的升华,更具体的讲了科学,辨证的讨论了科学研究结果就百分百可信吗? 好多生活上的小常识,比如补钙要加D,尽管被主流科学所接纳,但是并没有确凿的证据可以论证这一说法。那我们要如何相信科学呢,如何辨别真伪呢,作者并没有给出确切的答案。我想作者想要表达的只是希望大家可以理性的思考问题,用科学的思考方式,而科学的思考方式就是靠证据说话。
书中引用了很多其他书中的例子和观点,作者涉猎范围很广,虽然涉及很多理工思维,但是读起来并没有想象的那么枯燥无味。

看完這本書深覺得作者是個廣讀多領域書籍的人, 因為提到的很多書籍都是我自己也最近才接觸的書籍.作者提到的重點是一種科學思維的建立方法, 也包括打破很多誤謬, 比如一萬小時的天才養成理論在他看來是不夠的, 刻意學習並且必須是在單獨的環境中訓練. 天才都是孤獨的, 閱讀很多書籍的人也是有福的, 因為能夠融會貫通很多書再來寫成一本書就是厲害的地方. 自控力更是讓學習能有績效的唯一方法!

作者提到好幾次 Malcolm Gladwell and Daniel Kahneman, 也舉了他們書籍的很多例子加以驗證或反駁.
我覺得這是一個培養科學之心的人必讀的一本書!! 大力推薦!

其实是一本书评,虽然不必同意其所有观点,不过用理工科的思维模式在社会科学中应用,顿时让社科“科学”了起来。

买了送人,自己却只看过博客汇编,买电子书再看一遍吧。也是支持作者。

过了这么多年,还是讨厌分科思维,这标题真是长在我的厌恶点上。

逻辑有点混乱,东讲讲西讲讲。一开始我想跟住他的逻辑,费了很大的力气,或者发现跟不住,或者发现难以认同。

We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that the divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.《万万没有想到:用理工科思维理解世界》
