MISTAKES WERE MADE (BUT NOT BY ME): WHY WE JUSTIFY FOOLISH BELIEFS, BAD DECISIONS, AND HURTFUL ACTS
Book ID/图书代码： 07900007B14225
English Summary/英文概要： 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? 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. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right. 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当事情陷入僵局时为什么人们都喜欢推卸责任纳？为什么人们在把事情搞砸时不敢勇于承担责任？为什么无数的夫妻总是发生口角，任何一方都永远认为自己没有错纳？为什么我们总是认为别人是装出来的，而不正视自己的行为纳？我们所有人是否都是骗子纳？
著名社会心理Carol Tavris和Elliot Aronson深入探究了人类大脑是如何自我辩解的。当我们犯错误时，我们必须消除自己的认知不和谐心理。我们会任凭自己想象那些免除负责任的各种借口，不断告诉自己这样的信念——自己是聪明人，自己的行为合乎常理，自己没有错。
作者在书中提供了精彩绝伦的诠释，告诉读者自我欺骗是如何占据人类意识；自己我欺骗将会引起的错误诱导；以及我们可以通过哪些方法来克服自我欺骗。
