À propos de cet audio

“Both wise and clever, full of fun and surprise about a topic so central to our lives that we almost never even think about it.”
—Bill McKibben, author of Earth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet

In the tradition of The Wisdom of Crowds and Predictably Irrational comes Being Wrong, an illuminating exploration of what it means to be in error, and why homo sapiens tend to tacitly assume (or loudly insist) that they are right about most everything. Kathryn Schulz, editor of Grist magazine, argues that error is the fundamental human condition and should be celebrated as such. Guiding the reader through the history and psychology of error, from Socrates to Alan Greenspan, Being Wrong will change the way you perceive screw-ups, both of the mammoth and daily variety, forever.

Thank you so much for sharing such useful data about error. Love all the stories, science and philosophy behind it :)

Amazing & Mind blowing

Great descriptions of our horror when seeing our own errors. Discussion of how we learn, how we avoid the destruction of our illusory rightness by refusing to admit error, or having changed our minds how we revise our past opinions. Easy to listen to, read with energy, essential reading for recovering perfectionists like me!

Being wrong, making it admissible

The point of the book is basically that being wrong feels exactly like being right, which leads to a lack of awareness. The book itself is a decent patchwork of stories/anecdotes/research from other people, stitched together by the author to make her point. This is all fair.

However, the narrator is genuinely annoying with the inflection that she gives to nearly every sentence to make it sound like she's going to blow my mind. There are indeed interesting stories in there, things we might not expect, but it's absolutely insufferable when every obvious concept is explained to me with a tone that says "brace yourself because you won't believe this!". Not every sentence of a book has to be read like it's the punchline to a TED Talk.

My friend read the paper version of the book and told me that she didn't get this feeling at all. I've concluded that it must be the audio version that's problematic, and the text itself is fine.

Okay contents, insufferable narration
