Good book: "Mistakes Were Made (but not by me)"

Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts

"Most people when directly confronted with proof that they are wrong, do not change their point of view or course of action but justify it even more tenaciously"

Very worth reading.

Benko,

Thanks for bringing this up.  I've had this book for quite a while, but never opened it.  I will bring it to the top of the list.
