Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error Audiobook (Free)

“Both wise and clever, full of fun and surprise about a topic so central to our lives that people almost never even consider it.”

-Bill McKibben, author of Earth: Building 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 maintain error, and why homo sapiens tend to tacitly assume (or loudly insist) they are correct about most everything. Kathryn Schulz, editor of Grist mag, argues that error may be the fundamental human condition and should end up being celebrated therefore. Guiding the audience through the annals and mindset of error, from Socrates to Alan Greenspan, Being Wrong will change how you perceive screw-ups, both from the mammoth and daily range, forever.
