批評家のレビュー

"For about thirty years there has been increasing study of how people try to manage, and sometimes succeed in managing, their own behavior: smoking, eating, procrastinating, drinking, losing their temper, fears and phobias, games, fingernails.... The list goes on. Here is an entertaining report on one of the basic techniques of overcoming what the ancient Greeks called 'weakness of will.' All can enjoy it; many may discover it therapeutic." (Thomas C. Schelling, 2005 Nobel Laureate in Economics)

あらすじ・解説

Could you lose weight if you put $20,000 at risk? Would you finally set up your billing software if it meant that your favorite charity would earn a new contribution? If you’ve ever tried to meet a goal and came up short, the problem may not have been that the goal was too difficult or that you lacked the discipline to succeed. From giving up cigarettes to increasing your productivity at work, you may simply have neglected to give yourself the proper incentives.

In Carrot and Sticks, Ian Ayres, the New York Times best-selling author of Super Crunchers, applies the lessons learned from behavioral economics - the fascinating new science of rewards and punishments - to introduce readers to the concept of “commitment contracts”: An easy but high-powered strategy for setting and achieving goals already in use by successful companies and individuals across America.

As co-founder of the website stickK.com (where people have entered into their own “commitment contracts” and collectively put more than $3 million on the line), Ayres has developed contracts - including the one he honored with himself to lose more than 20 pounds in one year - that have already helped many find the best way to help themselves at work or home. Now he reveals the strategies that can give you the impetus to meet your personal and professional goals, including how to:

  • Motivate your employees
  • Create a monthly budget
  • Set and meet deadlines
  • Improve your diet
  • Learn a foreign language
  • Finish a report or project you’ve been putting off
  • Clear your desk

Ayres shares engaging, often astounding, real-life stories that show the carrot-and-stick principle in action, from the compulsive sneezer who needed a “stick” (the potential loss of $50 per week to a charity he didn’t like) to those who need a carrot with their stick (the New York Times columnist who quit smoking by pledging a friend $5,000 per smoke... if she would do the same for him). You’ll learn why you might want to hire a “professional nagger” whom you’ll do anything to avoid - no, your spouse won’t do! - and how you can “hand-tie” your future self to accomplish what you want done now.

You’ll find out how a New Zealand ad exec successfully “sold his smoking addiction”, and why Zappos offered new employees $2,000 to quit cigarettes. As fascinating as it is practical, as much about human behavior as about how to change it, Carrots and Sticks is sure to be one of the most talked-about books of the year.
