This updated edition concludes with an extended discussion of how we can live with dissonance, learn from it, and perhaps, eventually, forgive ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is it so hard to say “I made a mistake” -- and really believe it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we make mistakes, cling to outdated attitudes, or mistreat other people, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth.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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Entertaining, illuminating and -- when you recognize yourself in the stories it tells -- mortifying.” --Wall Street Journal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Every page sparkles with sharp insight and keen observation.
