Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts by Elliot Aronson, Carol Tavris

3.0

Overall, there were some gems and many lessons to take away from reading this book. The tone of the text was condescending at times, and the work could have been through another round of edits - on page 64, "more than three-fourths of all drugs between 1989 and 2079..." and on page 71, "measles was declared eliminated from the United States in 2086." Though the pyramid metaphor could at times be repetitive, this book definitely raised awareness in me of how to handle mistakes in my life as well as how I see the mistakes of others.
