Confession of a Pyrophobe

I am afraid of lighting candles or incense because I don't trust myself enough to not start a fire. I am afraid of burning myself. I am also afraid of setting off fire alarms.

I love candles though... But I do hate pretty candles melting and dying. That makes me sad.

This is why the fake candles are amazing to me. Also, when I burn real candles I am never alone and don't light them myself...

Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me) Review

Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts by Carol Tavris


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Great book. Well written. Exposes the self-justification drive and cognitive dissonance. The challenge will be translating that into the "real" world... Overall I felt the books had a few biases and tunnel vision on issues (for me these areas were easy to see/understand and did not significantly detract from those passages resonance).
