Book Recommendation 1: Mistakes Were Made, But Not by Me

In this episode, Samuel Salza recommends the book 'Mistakes Were Made, But Not by Me' by Carol Travis and Marsha Murchand. The book delves into the phenomenon of self-justification and how it affects decision-making and belief systems. It explains how people become more entrenched in their beliefs when presented with evidence to the contrary. The book examines both the consequences at a societal level, such as politicians justifying their actions, and the everyday level of self-justification that we all engage in. It is a thought-provoking read, particularly for those in government or working with behavioral science.
