Why Smart People Can be So Stupid
Author: Robert J. Sternberg
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300101706
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
One need not look far to find breathtaking acts of stupidity committed by people who are smart, or even brilliant. The behavior of smart individuals--from presidents to prosecutors to professors--is at times so amazingly stupid as to seem inexplicable. Why do otherwise intelligent people think and behave in ways so stupid that they sometimes destroy their livelihoods or even their lives? This book is the first devoted to investigating what the most current psychological research can tell us about stupidity in everyday life. The contributors to the volume, renowned scholars in various areas of human intelligence, present fascinating examples of people messing up their lives, and they offer insights into the reasons for such behavior. From a variety of perspectives, the contributors discuss: - The nature and theory of stupidity - How stupidity contributes to stupid behavior - Whether stupidity is measurable While many millions of dollars are spent each year on intelligence research and testing to determine who has the ability to succeed, next to nothing is spent to determine who will make use of their intelligence and not squander it by behaving stupidly. Why Smart People Can Be So Stupid focuses on the neglected side of this discussion, reviewing the full range of theory and research on stupid behavior and analyzing what it tells us about how people can avoid stupidity and its devastating consequences.

Pages : 266
Book Description
From Kristin Rockaway comes a fun, insightful romance about what can happen when life gets off track but you're willing to go along for the ride. This summer's not going as Abby Atkinson planned. A thieving PhD advisor, a screeching halt to her grad program, and zero job offers have left her high and dry. Nothing a little eat, pray, love across the Mediterranean can't fix, right? Or eat, pray, tutor, more like. Her dissertation might be dead, but she can still teach. She'll just have to do it for six weeks on a superyacht with a billionaire and his daughter. A playboy billionaire, according to the tabloids--but Abby's not so sure. As big as his bank account is, his heart's that much bigger, especially when it comes to his daughter. Their strained relationship could use some mending, though, and Abby can help. She was hired to teach junior high math, but she'll make room in her lesson plans. Falling for her boss wasn't part of the plan either, but... Maybe it's time she let her heart, not her head, teach her something new.
