Carol Tavris

Respaldado por décadas de investigación, Se han cometido errores (pero yo no fui) ofrece una explicación clara de la autojustificación: cómo funciona y el daño que puede causar, pero también cómo podemos superarla.Los prestigiosos psicologos sociales, Carol Tavris y Elliot Aronson, analizan de forma convincente como el cerebro esta preparado para la autojustificacion. ¿Por que es tan dificil decir he cometido un error y creerlo de verdad?Cuando cometemos errores, nos aferramos a actitudes anticuadas o maltratamos a otras personas, debemos calmar la disonancia cognitiva que amenaza nuestra autoestima. Inconscientemente, creamos ficciones que nos eximen de la responsabilidad, restaurando nuestra creencia de que somos inteligentes, morales y correctos, una creencia que a menudo nos mantiene en un rumbo necio, inmoral y equivocado.La edicion incluye numerosos ejemplos recientes y reveladores, como la aplicacion de la teoria de la disonancia a cuestiones sociales controvertidas, como el movimiento Black Lives Matter.Tambien incluye un nuevo capitulo que ilustra como la disonancia cognitiva esta desempeñando un papel en la actual escena politica polarizada, cambiando los valores de la sociedad y poniendo en riesgo la propia democracia.Entretenido, revelador y, cuando te identificas con sus historias, mortificante Wall Street JournalUn estudio revelador sobre como nos engañamos a nosotros mismos The Oprah Magazine

Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they make mistakes? 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.
