Distinguished authors like Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, and Nassim Nicholas Taleb have written much about the flaws in the human brain when it comes time to make a decision. Our intuitions and passions frequently fail us, leading to outcomes we don't want. In this book, Eyal Winter, Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for the Study of Rationality at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, wonders: why? If our emotions are so destructive and unreliable, why has evolution left us with them? The answer is that, even though they may not behave in a purely logical manner, our emotions frequently lead us to better, safer, more optimal outcomes. In fact, as Winter discovers, there is often logic in emotion, and emotion in logic.
For instance, many mutually beneficial commitments-such as marriage, or being a member of a team-are only possible when underscored by emotion rather than deliberate thought. The difference between pleasurable music and bad noise is mathematically precise; yet it is also the result of evolution. And our inherent overconfidence-the mathematically impossible fact that most people see themselves as above average-affords us advantages in competing for things we benefit from, like food and money and romance. Other subjects illuminated in the book include the rationality of seemingly illogical feelings like trust, anger, shame, ego, and generosity. Already a bestseller in Israel, Feeling Smart brings together game theory, evolution, and behavioral science to produce a surprising and very persuasive defense of how we think, even when we don't. 文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2455.html
有句老生常谈：你太感情用事，要试着理性思考。但这建议是否每次都算得上中肯？情感带来的总是冲动么？冲动总是魔鬼么？文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2455.html
在《狡猾的情感》这部令人称奇的著作中，埃亚尔•温特提出了一个简单的问题：我们为什么有情感？若是情感让人做出昏庸的决定，为何进化未能早早让情感丧失重要性？就像自私的基因一样，在进化过程中，情感是不是也有狡猾的一面？答案是，虽说或许并不完全符合逻辑，情感却常常能为我们带来更好、更安全、更理想的结果。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2455.html
实际上，按照温特的发现，情感的背后有其理性的逻辑，而理性的决策中也常常带来情感的影子。例如，许多互利的承诺，如婚姻或加入团队，得以实现的唯一条件是情感的支撑，而非深思熟虑；尽管过度自信是人之常情——何以会人人都高于平均水平？——但我们却经常得益于自己的妄自尊大……文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2455.html
《狡猾的情感》结合博弈论、进化论、心理学和行为科学，为我们的思考方式乃至无意识的思考方式做出了出人意料、令人信服的辩护，让我们逃出认知的囚笼。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2455.html
