Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error. Kathryn Schulz (Revised)
Being wrong is an inescapable part of being alive. And yet, we go through life tacitly assuming that we are right about nearly everything - from our political beliefs to our private memories, from our grasp of scientific fact to the merits of our favourite team. This book looks at why this conviction has such a powerful grip on us.
