KATHRYN SCHULZ

07/01/2010 7:00 pm
Journalist Kathryn Schulz has interviewed a dizzying array of experts (including Anthony Bourdain, climber Ed Viesturs, and radio host Ira Glass) on various aspects of rightness, wrongness, and changing course for her blog, The Wrong Stuff—which is currently hosted by Slate. Tonight, she talks about her new book, Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error (HarperCollins), a celebration of the transformative potential of mistake-making and its aftermath. "In the spirit of Blink and Predictably Irrational (but with a large helping of erudition), journalist Schulz casts a fresh and irreverent eye upon the profound meanings behind our most ordinary behaviors ... Being wrong can be transformative, and Schulz writes, 'I encourage us to see error as a gift in itself, a rich and irreplaceable source of humor, art, illumination, individuality, and change—an apt description of her engross study.'" - Publishers Weekly
