Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me):
by Elliot Aronson and Carroll Tavris
A stunning exploration of how cognitive bias and specifically cognitive dissonance affects judgements about relationships, professional judgement in fields ranging from law to psychology, and even international politics.
The best book I've read all year.
"By turns entertaining, illuminating and — when you recognize yourself in the stories it tells — mortifying." — The Wall Street Journal
I just started reading this (I´m two chapters in) and it is very interesting indeed. Thank you so much for this recommendation apophenia
