Why the honoree chose the book
In my roles as a teacher and child psychologist, I feel especially motivated to support healthy, rational ways to conceptualize the world around us. The well-established authors of Mistakes Were Made explain the common thinking errors that often interfere with this process—so key to understanding our increasingly polarized society and finding common ground.
