Why can’t humans admit they’re wrong. It is one of the most difficult things for a person to do. Egos can be very delicate things. We have an ideal that we constantly strive for and we want to believe that we’re moving in that direction all the time. Admitting you’re wrong gives you more control over your life than virtually any other thing you can do. This allows you to adapt and to grow. Through that lesson you can actually get closer to your ideal self. In reality we’ll never reach that person. When you’re in the public eye, it’s even more difficult to admit you’re wrong. The truth will set you free. Lying to conceal or cover a mistake only compounds the problem. Can you handle the truth? Dr. Huber says yes, the people actually want to know the truth.
