Being Wrong by Kathryn Schulz Book Summary

“Both wise and clever, full of fun and surprise about a topic so central to our lives that we almost never even think about it.”
—Bill McKibben, author of Earth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet

In the tradition of The Wisdom of Crowds and Predictably Irrational comes Being Wrong, an illuminating exploration of what it means to be in error, and why homo sapiens tend to tacitly assume (or loudly insist) that they are right about most everything. Kathryn Schulz, editor of Grist magazine, argues that error is the fundamental human condition and should be celebrated as such. Guiding the reader through the history and psychology of error, from Socrates to Alan Greenspan, Being Wrong will change the way you perceive screw-ups, both of the mammoth and daily variety, forever.

Hard to get into. I had to use this for a college course. It isn’t a page turner. I really had to push myself to read it and found myself getting lost in what exactly the point was because there are so many quotes and examples. I wish it was more streamlined and to the point.

Amazing. Great writing and science

Good stuff, excessive explanation.. Don’t get me wrong, this is a great book with great lessons about being wrong and seeing it as a way to improve, realize who you are, and see it as a way to life rather than being shamed and disappointed about it. My only negative point about this and is why I took out one whole star for it is that Kathryn, places an extreme amount of time and effort into history lessons and past examples in order for you to understand which in my opinion, makes this book was longer than it has to be. This way of explaining being wrong might help some, but it definitely didn’t add to my learning. Mentally, I was just waiting for them to finish the lesson so she could get to the point or I knew what the point was right in the beginning of the history lesson. Sounds like a negative review of this book but it’s not, just not a fan of history. Nonetheless, she did an excellent job passing her point and recommend to anyone who enjoys learning about the self.
