不知道为什么这本书没有那么popular,I really feel it deserves more applause than it did. 语言诙谐有趣,内容深刻有见地。并不是象有些popular书一样列举几个anecdotal evidence就完事,而是不断能够检查语言的逻辑,事例背后的原因等等。很难一下描述清楚,我想这本书在...

Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they screw up? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell?
Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so 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 and delivered in lively, energetic prose, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception—how it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it.
原本希望这本书讲更多的关于cognitive dissonance的,全书还是太浅,只讲到sefl-justification部分,例子太话唠。大约读第一章和最后一章即可。

评分篇幅可以缩减1/3,为了论证自己的观点,confirmation bias,self-justification,有些例子与论段比较牵强(夫妻关系的部分)。一个有益的观点是,你与你的错误,应该分开来看,你的错误不能完全代表你是谁(我觉得这个也取决于是什么错误吧)
评分#前半部分挺有启发性的,后半部分有些重复了
评分不是简单的因果关系
