Book Reading #47 - Why We Make Mistakes

Chapter 8-9
Summary
The first chapter mentions the problem that everyone has with their memory and how things are stored away. The data that needs to be stored is often condensed or pattern-ized to be helpful in remembering. This causes us to take information and possibly make errors when trying to make it easier to remember. Then also mentioned was the differences between genders that exist for reactions. The confidence in both genders are usually heavily on the men side even though women might be better at a certain area. Also, the book goes into how guys and girls look at directions or their area.

Discussion
The ninth chapter seemed very interesting to me in that it showed the large differences that guys and girls have between each other on simple thoughts. These simple observations can be a boon for figuring out what needs to be done to better understand out world and mind.
