Summary, etc. 'To err is human', goes a famous saying. If that's true, then why does one find it difficult to cope with mistakes? This is a question that Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error seeks to answer. This book probes why humans are deeply entrenched in their system of beliefs, be it scientific, political or religious. It seeks to answer why they stick to those beliefs even if, along the way, they realise that they just might have been wrong.<br/><br/>Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error also provides an insight into the moral and psychological effects that making mistakes may have on humans. This book isn't a philosophical guide on how to cope with being wrong in fact, it is a very light - hearted book based on age - old philosophies and recent discoveries in neuroscience.<br/><br/>This book methodically and elegantly explores the fallacy in the four areas of humans thinking: religion, politics, memory and love. It is written in a witty manner with a fitting style of narration. Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error is available as a paperback. This new edition was published by Granta in 2011.
