-Titulo Original : Mistakes Were Made (but Not By Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, And Hurtful Acts
-Fabricante :
Mariner Books
-Descripcion Original:
“Entertaining, illuminating and-when you recognize yourself in the stories it tells-mortifying.” -Wall Street Journal“Every page sparkles with sharp insight and keen observation. Mistakes were made-but not in this book!” -Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness 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 When we make mistakes, cling to outdated attitudes, or mistreat other people, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth.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. “A revelatory study of how lovers, lawyers, doctors, politicians-and all of us-pull the wool over our own eyes . . . Reading it, we recognize the behavior of our leaders, our loved ones, and-if we’re honest-ourselves, and some of the more perplexing mysteries of human nature begin to seem a little clearer.” -Francine Prose, O, The Oprah Magazine Review PRAISE FOR CAROL TAVRIS’S ANGER Witty, provocative, and impressively documented, this work lights a candle in cursed darkness. LOS ANGELES TIMES PRAISE FOR ELLIOT ARONSON’S THE SOCIAL ANIMAL A rare gem of a book, easy to read but also scientifically sophisticated. CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY Social psychologists Tavris and Aronson, each of whom has published other works, here tackle the inner workings of self-justification, the mental gymnastics that allow us to bemoan the mote in our brothers eye while remaining blissfully unaware of the beam in our own. Their prose is lively, their research is admirable and their examples of our arrogant follies are entertaining and instructive. A fascinating book... I recommend it to anyone who enjoys psychological and sociological studies. Sometimes floored, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes amused, but always interested, I can only hope that I will be able to apply some of what I learned in my own life. A pathbreaking book that could change forever how leaders think about the decisions they make . Crackles with new insights and understanding. A must read! This book should make it to the top of most summer reading lists. It speaks to the forces that keep us repeating harmful mistakes, whether its an everyday personal issue or an organization-wide problem. Im interested in reading this book for a deeper window into my own behavior, but also for insight into the reasons that corruption persists around the world and vexes so many organizational and individual efforts to fight it. In this pre-election time, Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronsons book bears a very prescient message: Just how does one learn from ones mistakes if one refuses to admit culpability? With straightforward language and a readable style, Tavris and Aronsons book will open your eyes and improve your life - that is, it will if you let it. This book is charming and delightful. But mainly, its just damn smart. Armed with reams of scientific data and loads of real-world anecdotes, Tavris and Aronson explain how politicians, pundits, doctors, lawyers, psychotherapists--and oh yes, the rest of us--come to believe that we are right and reasonable... and why we maintain that dangerous self-deception in the face of glaring evidence to the contrary. Every page sparkles with sharp insight and keen observation. Mistakes were made--but not in this book! To err is human, to rationalize even more so. Now, thanks to this brilliant
