Chapter 8:
Summary:
Chapter 8 of Why We Make Mistakes focuses on memory. In particular, Hallinan discusses how people attempt to keep their memories organize in their head. Hallinan also touches on the differences on how people store their memories, based on their personality traits and memory forming habits.

Chapter 9:
Summary:
In Chapter 9, Hallinan discusses the functional differences between men and women. The examples included in the chapter are how men show more confidence in many areas, and how young boys often tinker and explore more than their female counterparts.

Discussion: I found this pair of chapters highly entertaining. I've always been fascinated by the developmental differences between kids growing up, and so chapter 9 one was of particular interest to me.
