The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life I have a confession to make: I have a weak spot for the word "Counterintuitive". I am not sure why. Maybe it is because when I was young my intuitions told me to run away from any effort or stress. My intuition was clouded by fears and skepticism.

The book gives us a variety of words to look at, there were moments where a word I didn't understand would pop up and I would have to stop my reading and look up the definition. These moments were unexpected and would make me kind of jump inside. The book gave me a boring feeling only because I felt he repeats some things he says. On the other hand every time I read the book it would give me new facts over arguing and what I should do in the little boxes he left in the margins. These helpful facts I would use mostly on my quite obnoxious younger brothers.

Mistakes Were Made Chapter 1 Summary

502 Words | 3 Pages

Mistakes Were Made Intro & Chapter 1 Reflection "Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me)" by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson explores the concept of self-justification and how individuals rationalize their actions to protect their self-esteem. Chapter one and introduction discuss cognitive dissonance—the mental discomfort experienced when holding two conflicting beliefs or when behavior conflicts with beliefs. To alleviate this discomfort, people engage in self-justification, modifying their beliefs or perceptions to align with their actions. I can see myself behaving in ways described in the book. Self-justification is a common human trait, and even with self-awareness, it can be challenging to avoid entirely.

Absolute Truth In Like The Sun By R. K Narayan

482 Words | 2 Pages

Like the Sun by R.K Narayan is a story that the main character Sekhar tries to do an experiment that telling the absolute truth through the entire day. Even though telling the truth is a moral and ethical standard; it brings his wife’s sullen face to Sekhar after he told her that her food is not good, and it makes the headmaster upset when Sekhar criticizes his music. Ultimately, Sekhar’s experiment ends up with the punishment from his headmaster that he has to finish scrutinizing a hundred test paper in one night. Like the Sun presents the theme that whether the absolute truth is beneficial by the attitudes and reactions from the people who become the subjects in Sekhar’s experiment.
