Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson explores the psychology behind self-justification and cognitive dissonance.
Here are ten lessons from the book:
1. Self-Justification is Natural: Humans have a tendency to justify their actions and beliefs, even when they are wrong. Understanding this phenomenon can help us recognize when we’re engaging in self-deception.
2. Cognitive Dissonance: When our beliefs and actions conflict, we experience cognitive dissonance, a psychological discomfort that motivates us to resolve the inconsistency, often through rationalization.
3. The Power of Commitment: Once we commit to a decision, we are more likely to justify it, even in the face of evidence to the contrary. This commitment can cloud our judgment and lead to poor choices.
4. The Role of Emotions: Emotions play a significant role in our decision-making processes. Recognizing the influence of emotions can help us become more aware of our biases and better assess situations.
5. Avoiding Responsibility: People often shift blame onto others to avoid facing the consequences of their actions. Acknowledging our role in mistakes is essential for personal growth and accountability.
6. The Importance of Openness: Maintaining an open mind and being willing to reconsider our beliefs is crucial for learning and growth. Embracing new evidence can lead to better decision-making.
7. The Illusion of Control: We often overestimate our ability to control outcomes. Acknowledging the limits of our control can help us manage expectations and reduce frustration.
8. Forgiveness and Understanding: Understanding the psychology behind our mistakes and those of others can foster compassion and forgiveness, both for ourselves and for others.
9. The Need for Reflection: Regular self-reflection is important for recognizing our biases and justifications. Taking time to reflect can lead to greater self-awareness and better choices in the future.
10. Learning from Mistakes: Mistakes are an opportunity for growth and learning. Instead of avoiding or denying them, embracing our errors can lead to deeper insights and better decision-making in the future.
These lessons highlight the psychological mechanisms behind self-justification and the importance of self-awareness in recognizing our biases and improving our decision-making processes. The book encourages readers to confront their mistakes honestly and use them as a foundation for personal growth.

John William Waterhouse RA (baptised 6 April 1849 – 10 February 1917)
was an English painter known for working first in the Academic style and for then embracing the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's style and subject matter.
His paintings are known for their depictions of women from both ancient Greek mythology and Arthurian legend.
A high proportion depict a single young and beautiful woman in a historical costume and setting, though there are some ventures into Orientalist painting and genre painting, still mostly featuring women.
Born in Rome to English parents who were both painters, Waterhouse later moved to London, where he enrolled in the Royal Academy of Art Schools.
He soon began exhibiting at their annual summer exhibitions, focusing on the creation of large canvas works depicting scenes from the daily life and mythology of ancient Greece.
Many of his paintings are based on authors such as Homer, Ovid, Shakespeare, Tennyson, or Keats.

In 1963, a remarkable archaeological discovery was made at the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico, where researchers uncovered an intriguing artifact known as the ""Disk of Death"" or the Disk of Mictlāntēcutli. This ancient piece, originating from the pre-Hispanic period, portrays Mictlāntēcutli, the Aztec deity of death, who governs Mictlān, the underworld as per Aztec mythology.
The disk, made from stone, is adorned with detailed carvings of Mictlāntēcutli's skeletal face, a vivid depiction that highlights his connection to mortality and the afterlife. Both revered and feared, Mictlāntēcutli represents the Aztec understanding of the vital cycles of life, illustrating their deep respect for both existence and death. It is thought that this disk may have been utilized in ceremonial practices or as part of offerings to gods associated with death and the underworld.
Positioned near the renowned Pyramid of the Sun—an essential landmark in Teotihuacan—the location of the Disk of Mictlāntēcutli underscores the intertwined beliefs about life, death, and the cosmos, which are prevalent themes in Mesoamerican cultures. This artifact stands as a significant component of cultural and religious heritage, providing crucial insights into the Aztec worldview regarding death and what lies beyond.
