Being Wrong by Kathryn Schulz

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.75

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the only reason I am not giving it a full 5 stars is that it’s dated in a bit of a cringey way. (Did we really use the dichotomy “autistic versus healthy” in 2010?!) But the information and analysis still feel very relevant and it felt applicable to so many areas of my daily life - it came up in conversation constantly. I do wonder if it’s a reflection of being a bit dated that the book seems to assume a higher level of discomfort with wrongness than I think pervades our culture. I think the last decade and a half have been pretty humbling…but I could be wrong. 😅 From religion to criminal justice to literature, this book covers a lot of ground without, I think, getting too attached to a particular viewpoint, and I think that makes it a great book to share with folks from any background. But it’s possible that’s just my own biases talking. 😂
