An interesting deep dive into confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance, along with a handful of other biases. It won't be anything new for people already familiar with those concepts, but it takes a different look at them - it comes at them from the perspective of how we justify ourselves and our actions in the face of confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance. It gives a lot of interesting examples from a wide range of situations, from relationships, to law, to workplace mishaps, and more.
Very interesting read. I'd recommend it.

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
