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.

一个很好地比喻,人怎样不断地为自己的行为找理由,进而在固定的方向上越走越远。就像是站在金字塔尖上,一个小的决定来正正当化自己的决定,一步步地走向塔底,最后呈现出巨大的差异。 作者说明白了道理对现实的指导意义不大。 但我觉得,当一个人犯了弥天大错时,可以用来分...

感受最深的有两段话: “误解、冲突、人格差异,甚至吵嘴都不是爱情的杀手,自我辩护才是真正的爱情杀手。如果双方不是只为自己辩护并责备对方,而是首先考虑对方的感受,那么弗兰克和黛伯拉与新来的那对夫妇共进晚餐后,那天晚上可能就是另一番景象。” “相比之下,结婚多...

《错不下我》这本书,是我近期读来,最好的一本书之一。里面的内容从解释为什么“骗子、傻子、歹徒会容忍自己的行为,到解释自我辩护的原动力,到一些具体的场景之下,”自我辩护“的各种模样(诸如司法体系、婚姻、创伤、战争等),到最后究竟该如何放弃自我辩护。 自我辩护...

認知失調

评分

原本希望這本書講更多的關於cognitive dissonance的,全書還是太淺,隻講到sefl-justification部分,例子太話嘮。大約讀第一章和最後一章即可。

#前半部分挺有啓發性的,後半部分有些重復瞭

不如叫做#self-justification的實例大全#…後麵幾章說來說去都是一個意思…換瞭不同方麵的例子而已…有點囉嗦和冗長…沒有看到足夠多的實驗研究不開心…還有…把所有的問題都歸結為self-justification 是不是也太簡單化瞭…#兩個人最初的選擇也許都是迷迷糊糊地做齣的,然後一步一步因為self-justification而從金字塔尖端走下,最後變成完全不同的兩個人
