malglam reviewed Mistakes Were Made by Elliot Aronson
Review of 'Mistakes Were Made' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This is book very hard to read. It confronts you with all the tricks that the brain uses to reduce cognitive dissonance in order to make you look good to yourself even when the decision you make is not the more moral. Confirmation biass and selective memories are other tricks that the brain uses to allow us to live with ourselves. In the end, you have some advice on how to avoid this kind of behavior.
