Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The cover of Sports Illustrated, which we are used to seeing adorned by athletes and models, once featured the laughing, square-jawed face of Bobby Fischer. He was a chess champion who gained popularity in the 1972. He was so great because he had a touch of luck and a ton of practice, and an obsessive passion.
#2 There are entire fields devoted to judgment, decision-making, and positive psychology, and sections of bookstores dedicated to self-help, but no one has a clear explanation for why passion is so important.
#3 Altruism is another domain that we will try to understand. It is clear that we are not driven by impact, but we are still very caring and giving. We are not driven by impact, but we are not driven by impact either.
#4 We are not just ineffective, but also strategically ignorant. We would never knowingly infect a sexual partner with an STI, but we are content with not getting tested, even if we know we are at high risk. We avoid the information, and we avoid the ask.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The cover of Sports Illustrated, which we are used to seeing adorned by athletes and models, once featured the laughing, square-jawed face of Bobby Fischer. He was a chess champion who gained popularity in the 1972. He was so great because he had a touch of luck and a ton of practice, and an obsessive passion.

#2

There are entire fields devoted to judgment, decision-making, and positive psychology, and sections of bookstores dedicated to self-help, but no one has a clear explanation for why passion is so important.

#3

Altruism is another domain that we will try to understand. It is clear that we are not driven by impact, but we are still very caring and giving. We are not driven by impact, but we are not driven by impact either.

#4

We are not just ineffective, but also strategically ignorant. We would never knowingly infect a sexual partner with an STI, but we are content with not getting tested, even if we know we are at high risk. We avoid the information, and we avoid the ask.

#5

Game theory is a mathematical tool kit designed to help us figure out how people, firms, countries, and so on will behave in interactive settings. It has been used to help firms design and bid in auctions, and it is a cornerstone of federal antitrust regulation.

#6

We will cover a few distinctions that will help us interpret game theory when it is hidden working its magic on our beliefs and preferences behind the scenes. We will then move on to some game theory and show how it can be applied to humans.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Reinforcement learning is a key process that shapes animal and human behavior. It is when a behavior leads to a reward, and it is more likely to be repeated. It is ubiquitous, as it explains how dogs learn to sit and stay, cats learn to stop scratching the couch, and children learn to use the potty.

#2

reinforcement learning is a powerful tool that can be used to teach animals functional behaviors that are critical for their survival in a changing environment.

#3

We learn from others not just by imitating them, but also by observing them and asking for advice. We don’t learn randomly, but rather choose who we learn from based on a number of factors that make us prone to learn from those in the know.

#4

Children understand that adults know more about certain things than they do, and they understand that there are situations where it is better not to imitate others, including adults.

#5

The Inuit, who live in the Arctic, have mastered the art of building warm igloos. They construct their igloos out of packed snow, which is an excellent insulator. The floor of the igloo is terraced, so heat emitted from lamps, cooking fires, and Inuit bodies rises up past the entranceway and stays trapped inside.

#6

Humans are uniquely adapted to learn and imitate complex behaviors. We overimitate behaviors that seem unnecessary, and we do this by imitating the actions of others.

#7

The Fijians’ food taboos are a great example of how learning can shape our beliefs. They believe that certain foods will lead to negative health consequences for babies, even though these beliefs are wrong.

#8

The theory that the ability to inhibit and kill bacteria is what makes spices so useful in hot climates was tested by Jennifer Billing and Paul Sherman in 1998. They found that spices do indeed have this ability.

#9

The idea that spices are used in hotter places because they grow there is false. spices are used in many more places than they’re grown. They aren’t even, on average, more commonly grown in hotter climates.

#10

Lags and spillovers are like vestigial traits. They exist because learning isn’t instantaneous. It takes time for an individual to learn to like spicy food and for a culture’s cuisine to become spicy, and it takes time for these things to be unlearned.

#11

The ultimatum game is a classic experiment that demonstrates how people’s sense of justice is not perfectly tuned to the specifics of every situation. It is not surprising given how unusual the fully anonymous laboratory setting is.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

The distinction between primary and secondary rewards can be applied to humans as well. There are some things that humans have evolved to like and cannot easily learn to stop liking, like food, good health, and comfort. Meanwhile, there are other things that humans genuinely like and enthusiastically pursue, like stamp collections, abstract art, and job titles.

#2

There are many things we want that are not necessarily biological primaries. They are secondary rewards that we have learned to enjoy because of their association with primary rewards.

#3

The primary rewards we get from giving to charity or believing and doing things that are inconsistent with our beliefs are often learned and highly context dependent. They are not the same as money, which is what most people mean when they talk about incentives.

#4

The distinction between proximate and functional explanations originated with biologists. Proximate explanations focus on the thoughts and feelings that go through someone’s mind as they make a decision. Functional explanations focus on the function of these thoughts and feelings.
