Reference Information:
Title: Why We Make Mistakes
Author: Joseph T. Hallinan
Editors: Broadway Books (2009)
Chapter 2 & 3
Summary: In the second chapter of Why We Make Mistakes, Hallinan continues to drive home the same topics as the first chapter, but with more detailed examples. He discusses how we don't learn details of things we do not need to know to function, such as what a penny looks like. In the third chapter, Hallinan discusses people's thought processes, and how we make decisions based on arbitrary things such as a politician's looks.
Discussion: I'm still continuing Hallinan's novel. His examples are fascinating, and I'm sad to say I wasn't able to pick the penny out of the presented pictures. I'm looking forward to the next few chapters, and what sort of examples they might present.
