Book Reading #49 - Why We Make Mistakes

Chapter 10-11
Summary
In general most people think of themselves as being slightly better than the average and are pretty good at a lot of things. Obviously not everyone can be above average, so this is an interesting mind state that most people have in order to delude themselves. Also, people are much more willing to do things when the time comes for it to be done rather than to prepare.

Discussion
I like reading about these concepts that may not cross everyone's mind but show underlying concepts in humans. These can account for many things and be used for research.
