Ce titre utilise une narration à voix virtuelle
La voix virtuelle est une narration générée par ordinateur pour les livres audio.
It's 2 a.m. You're lying in the dark, and your brain, which refused to concentrate on anything useful all day, has decided to replay something you said at a party in 2019. Nobody else remembers it. The person you said it to has probably forgotten your name.
Your brain is not broken. It's running software that kept your ancestors alive, in a world of group chats, dating apps and open-plan offices it was never built for.
The Psychology of Everyday Life takes the questions you've asked yourself at the worst possible hour and finds the best answers psychology can currently give.
Each chapter tackles one question, such as:
• Why do we replay embarrassing moments from five years ago?
• Why does my brain invent worst-case scenarios at 2 a.m.?
• Why do we procrastinate even when we know the consequences?
• Why can't I put my phone down?
• Why do we want people who seem unavailable?
• Why does nobody help when everyone is watching?
• Why do we stay in things long after we should leave?
• Why do we think we'll be happy "when"?
Along the way you'll hear about the students who were sent into a room wearing a Barry Manilow T-shirt. They guessed almost half the room had noticed. The real figure was about one in four. Carry that number into the next room you're nervous about entering.
Jason Weatherford is also honest about the famous findings that fell apart. Power posing, ego depletion, the marshmallow test as most people tell it, the Stanford prison experiment and the story of the thirty-eight silent witnesses to Kitty Genovese's murder all get a close look, along with what the evidence actually shows. You'll also learn four simple questions to ask whenever you hear a claim that begins "studies show".
