Bücher von Kathryn Schulz

To err is human. Yet most of us go through life assuming (and sometimes insisting) that we are right about nearly everything, from the origins of the universe to how to load the dishwasher. In Being Wrong, journalist Kathryn Schulz explores why we find it so gratifying to be right and so maddening to be mistaken. Drawing on thinkers as varied as Augustine, Darwin, Freud, Gertrude Stein, Alan Greenspan, and Groucho Marx, she shows that error is both a given and a gift?one that can transform our worldviews, our relationships, and ourselves.

Pulitzer Prize-winning &i>New Yorker &/i>writer tells the story of losing her father and finding the love of her life in this profound meditation on love, grief and joy.
