书籍简介

“本书出自当代伟大的心理学家之一之手，它向我们展示了如何回答那些定义我们人生的普遍问题：我能成功吗？我有归属感吗？我被爱吗？”——卡罗尔·德韦克，《终身成长》畅销书作者

探索建立信任、归属感和自信的简单心理转变——斯坦福大学德韦克-沃尔顿实验室联合主任格雷格·沃尔顿著

我们面临的情感问题可以定义我们的人生。如果你预期一次互动会出错，这种预期就可能真的会出错。这会导致恶性循环。但正如备受尊敬的斯坦福大学心理学家格雷格·沃尔顿所展示的那样，当我们清晰地看待这些问题时，我们就能很好地回答它们。社会心理学家称之为“明智干预”，这些视角转变可以帮助我们规划人生的新轨迹。它们能帮助我们螺旋式上升。

这就是平凡的魔法：日常生活中那些帮助我们放下生活琐事、释放非凡改变的经验。

沃尔顿博士以生动的叙事和对引人入胜的研究的深刻分析，揭开了魔法的神秘面纱：

在孩子身上：父母或老师寥寥数语，便能建立信任，成就孩子。

在人际关系中：在冲突对话前，哪怕只是几分钟的反思，也能增进伴侣间的亲密感——即使一年后依然如此。

在学校里：认识到每个人在新学校最初都会感到格格不入——这是真的——就能释放出非凡的潜能，并在十年后改善你的生活。

在政策制定中：一封短短的信函，如何将少年犯从拘留所重返校园的再犯率降低了40个百分点；一项明信片宣传活动，如何将自杀率降低了一半。

我们很容易认为问题超出了我们的掌控。但事实上，我们拥有改变现状的巨大机会。《平凡的魔法》将改变的工具触手可及。

‘By one of the great psychologists of our time, a book that shows us how we can answer the universal questions that define our lives: Can I succeed? Do I belong? Am I loved?’ Carol S. Dweck, bestselling author of Mindset

Discover simple psychological shifts that build trust, belonging, and confidence–from the co-director of the Dweck-Walton Lab at Stanford University

The emotional questions we face can define our lives. If you’re expecting an interaction to go wrong, that expectation can make it so. That’s spiralling down. But as esteemed Stanford psychologist Greg Walton shows, when we see these questions clearly, we can answer them well. Known to social psychologists as wise interventions, these shifts in perspective can help us chart new trajectories for our lives. They help us spiral up.

This is ordinary magic: The everyday experiences that help us set aside the ordinary worries of life to unleash extraordinary change.

Through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis of fascinating research Dr. Walton pulls back the curtain to reveal the magic at work:

With our children: The few choice words from a parent or a teacher that builds trust and achievement.

In our relationships: How the right opportunity to reflect, for just a few minutes before a conflict conversation, can engender greater intimacy among couples–even a year later.

In school: How learning that everyone feels as out of place at first as you do at a new school–they really do–can unleash extraordinary potential, improving your life a decade later.

In our policy: how a one-page letter reduced recidivism among kids returning to school from juvenile detention by 40 percentage points; a postcard campaign cut suicide rates in half.

It’s easy to think problems are out of our control. But in fact, we have vast opportunities for change. Ordinary Magic puts the tools for change at your fingertips.
