Why is it so hard to say "I made a mistake"-and really believe it?
When we make mistakes, cling to outdated attitudes, or mistreat
other people, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our
feelings of self-worth. And so, unconsciously, 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,
Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation
of self-justification-how it works, the damage it can cause, and
how we can overcome it. This updated edition features new examples
and concludes with an extended discussion of how we can live with
dissonance, learn from it, and perhaps, eventually, forgive
ourselves.
