REPLAY: Advice Goddess Radio: 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET -- Dr. Carol Tavris, How To Admit Mistakes Instead Of Continuing To Make Them
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.
Word has it there's some big sporting event on tonight, so I'm replaying one of my "best of" shows.
My guest is social psychologist Dr. Carol Tavris, talking about common ways we make errors in reasoning and judgment that mess up our lives, and how to avoid them.
Her terrific book, co-authored with Dr. Elliot Aronson, is one of my favorites: Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts

Don't miss last week's show with Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky--Happiness Myths And The Science For Being Happier.
Dr. Lyubomirsky, one of the most rigorous researchers whose work I follow, has a terrific new book out, The Myths of Happiness: What Should Make You Happy, but Doesn't, What Shouldn't Make You Happy, but Does.
It turns out that we are very poor predictors of what makes us happy or unhappy, and it doesn't help that we've been stuck with a lot of cultural myths about what things and situations should and shouldn't. On this show, which will focus mainly on relationships, Lyubomirsky lays out the realities shown in the research and also give us simple, practical ways to be happier -- and practical thinking on how to assess when that's just not possible and it's time to get out.
