The best things said about it
Per my last book about being wrong it feels like familiar terrain to kind of wrestle with these abstract categories.
Kathryn Schulz The Book Review · Jan 2022 Why people recommend it
Being Wrong is a nonfiction book by Kathryn Schulz that explores the psychology, philosophy, and inevitability of human error and changing one's mind. Gilbert Cruz and author Kathryn Schulz discussed her previous literary work on The Book Review, reflecting on the evergreen nature of the 2010 release and how it laid the groundwork for her subsequent writing endeavors. Schulz noted that wrestling with abstract categories in her previous work on error felt like familiar intellectual terrain. Additionally, Adam Mastroianni mentioned reading Being Wrong on an episode of EconTalk, pointing out how Schulz observes that human beings lack a distinct psychological state that alerts them to the moment they are currently wrong about something. Mastroianni used Schulz's insights to illustrate the peculiar mechanics of cognitive dissonance and human emotional thermostats. Together, these discussions underscore the book's lasting relevance as a foundational text for understanding why human beings stubbornly cling to incorrect beliefs and how acknowledging error is central to intellectual and personal growth.
