Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)

Elliot Aronson

“Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)” by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson explores and explains why we have such a hard time admitting our mistakes. Using scientific and historical examples, the authors describe the very human phenomenon of how we experience cognitive dissonance and justify our actions to protect our sense of who we are. They also explain why being willing to admit to your mistakes is the first step towards working around these dissonances.
