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.

人最困难的事莫过于认错。我指的是自觉的、诚心诚意的认错。用刀架着你脖子的不算,用枪抵着你的脑袋也不算,老婆扬言不要你上床、上司威胁要炒你鱿鱼……这类被迫的情形都不算。 好在所有的难事情都有人研究,替我们支招。当我读到美国心理学家卡罗尔...

不知道是幸运还是不幸,我看了这本书。我那些认识失调再难调节。 虽然那些自我欺骗虽然仍然起作用,不过已经不太好使,对于本来可以自然接受的事实,现在却要想想,再想想,乃至今天也没有定论。 或许,我应该忘了这本书。 认知上的矛盾,是让人痛苦的一件事,大概只有把自己...

不如叫做#self-justification的实例大全#…后面几章说来说去都是一个意思…换了不同方面的例子而已…有点啰嗦和冗长…没有看到足够多的实验研究不开心…还有…把所有的问题都归结为self-justification 是不是也太简单化了…#两个人最初的选择也许都是迷迷糊糊地做出的,然后一步一步因为self-justification而从金字塔尖端走下,最后变成完全不同的两个人

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)
