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

4.0

All about how we not only disown our mistakes, but also can get into some nasty things little by little and then are committed to a bad course of action. The main theory used is cognitive dissonance. Lots of anecdotes personal and historical. Very readable.
