為什麼聰明人也會做出愚蠢行為？從比爾‧柯林頓的醜聞到休‧葛蘭特的荒唐事件，再到不合理的怒吼、扭曲的自我認知，《與內在白癡共處》以幽默又犀利的筆觸，揭露人類潛意識中那個叫作「Inner Dummy」的原始衝動！心理作家大衛‧魏納融合佛洛伊德理論與演化心理學，解析我們腦中那渴望性、地位與生存的原始本能。讀者不僅能笑看社會奇聞，更能學會如何駕馭內心的白癡衝動，避免讓生活陷入災難。From the sexcapades of Bill Clinton to the unbelievable story of Hugh Grant and the prostitute; from the 15-year-old who weighs only 82 pounds but believes she's obese, to the professor who screams profanities at other drivers in snarled traffic--we wonder out loud, "What are they thinking?!" What drives so many apparently normal, intelligent people to act irrationally, harming themselves and others?According to Sigmund Freud, such behavior may be caused by the "id," our built-in mental invitation to everything from dangerous fun to horrendous acts of irrationality. For popular psychology writer David Weiner, "id" stands for "Inner Dummy," the part of the brain that we must come to understand if we are ever to know why we do foolish, irrational, and compulsive things.

Hunger of Memory is the story of Mexican-American Richard Rodriguez, who begins his schooling in Sacramento, California, knowing just 50 words of English, and concludes his university studies in the stately quiet of the reading room of the British Museum. Here is the poignant journey of a “minority student” who pays the cost of his social assimilation and academic success with a painful alienation — from his past, his parents, his culture — and so describes the high price of “making it” in middle-class America. Provocative in its positions on affirmative action and bilingual education, Hunger of Memory is a powerful political statement, a profound study of the importance of language ... and the moving, intimate portrait of a boy struggling to become a man.From the Paperback edition.
