Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts by Carol Tavris, Elliot Aronson

5.0

Another important book. We have an amazing skill as humans to reduce dissonance. And this is not a skill that should be vilified by itself. It can act for good and bad. And helps us to function as imperfect people in the world.

But I think understanding this system is essential for being a human who can admit mistakes and function with maturity in the world. This book should be required reading for all humans.

5.0 stars.
