#19 - Helen Burak - Mistakes Were Made


Listen Later

This week I talk to comedy writer Helen Burak (The Salmon Pages, Lights Out podcast) about "Mistakes Were Made (but Not By Me)" by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson. We dive into the book's main topic -- how most people are utterly determined to avoid admitting their mistakes. We also talk about the importance of failure, the debunked science of repressed memories being recalled through hypnosis, and taking improv classes at UCB. Many things! You should follow Helen on Twitter @helenburak and check out her articles on The Salmon Pages (on Medium and Facebook) if you like laughing at Hollywood. As always, all of my stuff is on TylerEaton.net
