Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts
Description
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 righta belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong.
I have a question about the book:
‘Mistakes Were Made (but Not By Me) Third Edition - Tavris, Carol, Aronson, Elliot’.
