Winner of the American Psychological Association's National Media Award, this book is an introduction to modern social psychology. The Sixth Edition retains the text's coverage of classic research while including: a new chapter on social cognition; a more thorough discussion of intimate relations.
Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right--a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong.

„Przypadek to nie wszystko. Moje życie psychologa społecznego” Elliota Aronsona, uznawanego za jednego z najważniejszych uczonych XX wieku w dziedzinie nauk społecznych, to pełna pasji opowieść o jego życiu i czasach, w których żył. Autor, obdarzony otwartością, dowcipem i wyjątkowym zmysłem obserwacyjnym, przedstawia wydarzenia takie jak Wielki Kryzys, walka o zniesienie segregacji rasowej czy ruchy hipisowskie, w które aktywnie się angażował, niejednokrotnie wpływając na ich bieg. Aronson opisuje te epizody z perspektywy zarówno uczestnika, jak i biegłego analityka, ukazując złożoność procesów społecznych. W książce nie brakuje również refleksji na temat postaci, które ukształtowały współczesną psychologię społeczną, takich jak Abraham Maslow, Jerome Bruner, David McClelland i Leon Festinger. Autor nie boi się ujawniać swoich sympatii i antypatii, co dodaje narracji autentyczności. Barwny i żywy język sprawia, że lektura jest wciągająca, czyniąc tę książkę znakomitym wyborem nie tylko dla pasjonatów psychologii, ale także dla każdego, kto pragnie lepiej zrozumieć współczesny świat.
