Book Reviews of Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts

Book Review: A MUST-read for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars

What we don't know WILL hurt us.
Well researched. Well written. This book gives a different perspective when evaluating situations and people.
We're really not as smart as we think we are (or, would want others to believe...)
