Description

Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they screw up? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell?

Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right - a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong.

Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception - how it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it.

A Good Read

Very well put together, and a great study and expose of one of the most common failings of human nature, the human behaviour that is “dissonance,” a great descriptive term.

I liked the analogy of “falling off the pyramid” to describe what happens to human reasoning, when descending into a frame of mind that more often than not doesn’t recognise this state of dissonance “a blind spot” and certainly cannot comprehend. Before reading the book, I always thought that “having a conscience” covered most of the bases of dissonance, but there again I’m no trained psychologist!

I was more than amused by the last hour or more the book, on their assessment of Trump. I listened carefully and couldn’t help thinking that both the authors were descending their own pyramid into their own dissonance their blind spot being ignored, the absolute fact that under the American electoral system, Trump was a democratically elected President. Dissonance is a two way street and I would personally have liked the authors to have been a little less partisan and more circumspect discussing other examples of dissonance, in their conclusion? I believe it’s what psychologists call “projection”, which means projecting onto others precisely the characteristics you yourself display but refuse to acknowledge. But that is a minor criticism of the book, which was a good read.

ok if not for the last chapter

The purely political ending was disappointing.... Could the bilind spot be the author's? Otherwise an interesting book.
