生活即賽局，人性是戰場，而你的一瞬反應，往往是取勝關鍵。情緒不是失控，而是策略。那一瞬的憤怒、恐懼與喜悅，才是人性賽局中的致勝底牌！★本書入選國家文官學院「每月一書」★8位諾貝爾經濟學獎得主盛讚推薦：湯瑪斯．謝林（Thomas Schelling）、肯尼斯．阿羅（Kenneth Arrow）、埃里克．馬斯金（Eric Maskin）、羅傑．梅爾森（Roger Myerson）、小勞勃．盧卡斯（Robert Lucas）、勞勃．歐曼（Robert J. Aumann）、阿爾文．羅思（Alvin Roth）、弗農．史密斯（Vernon Smith）AI或許能為你推演出無數決策，卻無法解讀人心的波動與情緒的力量，所以你更需要本書，了解如何用情緒作為釋放訊號的機制，才能在人性賽局中看懂對手、掌控局勢！本書作者是享譽國際的賽局權威艾雅爾．溫特，他曾獲頒德國「宏博研究獎」（Humboldt Research Award），該獎項是頒給外國學者的最高榮譽，旨在推崇獲獎者的終身學術成就。在書中，他將帶你走入一個個職場與生活中的情境，學會在關鍵時刻用對情緒，帶來翻倍的勝算：【職場升遷】什麼樣的報酬，才能創造最大動機？→藉由賽局理論，了解激勵心理，掌握策略互動的關鍵。【商場求勝】如何促成雙方合作，在互動中雙贏？→看懂自己身處的賽局，激發互惠互利的情緒機制。【情場順利】情侶爭奪約會地點，如何做出彼此都開心的最佳選擇？→從戀愛賽局，找出相對優勢策略的組合。本書以賽局理論、行為經濟學、演化論、心理學、腦科學為架構，用深具啟發性的觀點解讀決策背後的情緒機制。作者不談艱澀難懂的理論或模型，而是以人性的直覺思維模式著手，搭配多項有趣的實驗成果、研究案例，以詼諧睿智的敘事手法，讓你有效率的認知升級，學會：1.精準判斷局勢我該蓋牌還是加碼？要妥協還是堅持？會得到香吻一枚還是一巴掌？了解情緒在社會情境下扮演的角色，能更準確判斷局勢，知道該合作互惠，還是競爭勝出。 2.高品質決策情緒跟理智機制實際上是共同運作、互相支持。許多時候靠情緒或直覺做出的決定，不但比嚴謹分析後所做的決定，來得更有效率、品質更好。3.提高勝算情緒並不是人類在漫長原始的演化過程中，所遺留下來的退化遺跡，而是一項有效、精巧的工具，能夠與理性面平衡互補。最終擁有優勢的不是僅靠理性運作的人，而是感性與理性兼具的人。媒體讚譽◆《金融時報》（F
