A book of and for our times. It's a deep dive into cognitive dissonance and self justification. Everyone should read this as it explains so much about the status of our current political, medical, police and education systems. Unfortunately the people who could benefit the most from reading this book probably won't read it or if they do they won't understand that it applies to everyone, even themselves.

My favorite quote of the book: “Most people, when directly confronted by evidence that they are wrong, do not change their point of view or course of action but justify it even more tenaciously. Even irrefutable evidence is rarely enough to pierce the mental armor of self-justification.”
