Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)
by Carol Tavris & Elliot Aronson
A forensic examination of self-justification and cognitive dissonance. Why do smart people double down on bad decisions? Why do we rewrite our own memories to protect our self-image? Tavris and Aronson provide the psychological framework for understanding why it is so hard to admit we were wrong.
