review 1: Well written and expertly researched. Better by Mistake gives a great perspective on how we view mistakes in society and what we can do to practice what we preach. Anyone will tell you that we should learn from our mistakes but there are very few placed where we are encouraged to make them.The author explores mistakes and their consequences in numerous areas from elementary math class to commercial airline pilots. It gave me a whole new perspective on the addage I've been hearing all my life.
review 2: I am in the midst of a study of creativity for my new job, and I have just come of doing a bunch of reading on the problem with rewards and grades and such. So, this book fit into that matrix pretty well. Tugend isn't as deft a writer as Malcolm Gladwell, but ... moreshe is competent. She presents interesting studies that will change what I do in the classroom pretty significantly. That said, I probably wouldn't have read this book if it wasn't part of this jag I'm currently on. less
