The Blind Spots That Shape Our Lives
Have you ever doubled down on a failing relationship because "we've invested so much time already," or kept pouring money into a money-pit car because "I've already spent thousands fixing it"? These seemingly innocent self-justifications reveal a powerful psychological mechanism affecting everyone from ordinary citizens to presidents. Since its 2007 publication, "Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me)" has become a cultural touchstone, referenced everywhere from The New York Times to HBO's "Succession." Its enduring appeal lies in an uncomfortable truth: we all twist reality to protect our egos. Understanding this tendency is the first step toward making better decisions, improving relationships, and perhaps even healing societal divides.
