Book Reading #41 - Why We Make Mistakes

Chapter 2-3
Summary
For the second chapter, the topic of question was the memories of people and how they associate in our minds. The visual nature of our memories in connection with faces show a very good result but connecting those faces with names was sub-par at best. In the next chapter the author talked about the subtle queues that occur and how we still pick up on them in humans. These allow us to discern what underlying things are happening with other people and we act on them subconsciously.

Discussion
I think that these chapters were important to show how we act even though we might not know what we are doing. The role of mistakes is quite important to understand in order to fix it and also for some to exploit it.
