A few years ago, on a flight I fortunately met with a psychologist, Daniel Gilbert. He was very humorous, and we talked a lot. I was completely 41 . He was interested in the questions that we 42 but we never have the opportunity to 43 .
Now Gilbert has written a book Stumbling on Happiness(《撞上幸福》). Reading it 44 me of that plane ride long ago. It is a 45 to read his book. Gilbert is charming and 46 . He has a rare 47 for making very complicated ideas come 48 .
Stumbling on Happiness is a book about a very simple 49 powerful idea. What distinguishes us from other animals is our ability to predict the future, 50 , our interest in predicting the future. We spend much time 51 what it would be like. Why? It is what allows us to 52 our life. It is by trying to apply some control over our futures 53 we attempt to be 54 . But by any objective measure, we are really 55 at that predictive function. We’re terrible at knowing how we will feel tomorrow, and even worse at 56 what will bring us happiness. Gilbert 57 to explain why we are so terrible. In making his case, Gilbert walks(陪同)us 58 a series of attracting facts about the way our minds work.
