Why is the need to be right so strong? Why is it so hard to admit our faults? In the course of discussing the book Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me), Dr. Sarah Townley and I discuss many of the issues surrounding the cracks in our nature. The book addresses issues at the fascinating nexus of philosophy, psychology, and the hard facts of daily life. Our discussion touches on cognitive dissonance, determinism, marriage, parenting, professional misconduct, and the secret of conflict.
