Summary:
"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."--From publisher.
