Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schulz, Kathryn, PUBLISHER: Ecco Press, To err is human. Yet most of us go through life assuming (ong>andong> sometimes insisting) that we are right about nearly everything, from the origins of the universe to how to load the dishwasher. If being wrong is so natural, why are we all so bad at imagining that our beliefs could be mistaken, ong>andong> why do we react to our ong>errorong>s with surprise, denial, defensiveness, ong>andong> shame? In "Being Wrong," journalist Kathryn Schulz explores why we find it so gratifying to be right ong>andong> so maddening to be mistaken, ong>andong> how this attitude toward ong>errorong> corrodes relationships--whether between family members, colleagues, neighbors, or nations. Along the way, she takes us on a fascinating tour of human fallibility, from wrongful convictions to no-fault divorce; medical mistakes to misadventures at sea; failed prophecies to false memories; "I told you so " to "Mistakes were made." Drawing on thinkers as varied as Augustine, Darwin, Freud, Gertrude Stein, Alan Greenspan, ong>andong> Groucho Marx, she proposes a new way of looking at wrongness. In this view, ong>errorong> is both a given ong>andong> a gift--one that can transform our worldviews, our relationships, ong>andong>, most profoundly, ourselves. In the end, "Being Wrong" is not just an account of human ong>errorong> but a tribute to human creativity--the way we generate ong>andong> revise our beliefs about ourselves ong>andong> the world. At a moment when economic, political, ong>andong> religious dogmatism increasingly divide us, Schulz explores with uncommon humor ong>andong> eloquence the seduction of certainty ong>andong> the crises occasioned by ong>errorong>. A brilliant debut from a new voice in nonfiction, this book calls on us to ask one of life's most challenging questions: what if I'm wrong?
