Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts by Carol Tavris, Elliot Aronson
5.0
I found "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)" to be a marvelous read, seamlessly blending educational content with entertaining elements, complemented by nearly 50 pages of well-researched notes and citations. The book features an excellent layout and pacing, providing a comprehensive understanding of human behavior. It adeptly emphasizes the commonality of our struggles, the ease with which we succumb to self-justification, and offers valuable insights on reducing such tendencies.
The final chapter, in particular, resonated with me, offering clarity on the firm stances taken by individuals in my life. While I appreciated this perspective, I acknowledge that it may evoke dissonance in some readers.
In conclusion, I highly recommend "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)" for its insightful content, thought-provoking narratives, and its ability to shed light on the intricacies of human psychology.
