Review of 'Mistakes Were Made Third Edition' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

An important book which will always be timely since cognitive dissonance will forever be with us. The authors and their publishers have updated it twice since 2007 to reflect new research and include new examples- a great commitment to science and relevance. For the book to be truly impactful, I feel like I would need to re-read it every few years to remind myself of the subtle traps that can result from cognitive dissonance and to tighten up my conscious processing and decision-making.

Recommended by my wife, Amy.
