review 1: fallor ergo sum: This sums up the whole book. The book touches a very important topic of us commiting wrongs. Our reaction to how we react once we commit them and the aftermath. It delves quite deep into the overall anatomy of the whole concept of wrong. It isn't easy reading though. There were some chapters which could have been made short, there were some which could have been made a bit more interesting. But bottom line is we as humans are sum total of all the mistakes we commit. We should be proud of them and not repeat it again.
review 2: A new-to-me way of looking at wrongness, and an interesting follow-up to The Ego Trick. "[The] idea of self-creation suggests something else important about error. Being wrong doesn't just make us human in general; it al... moreso helps make each of us the specific person we are. In our inability to get things exactly right, in the idiosyncrasies of our private visions of the world, the outline of selfhood appears." less
