Making Mistakes: Why We're Full Of Them And Why It's Hard To Admit Them

What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

Well, we know we're full of Mere Mortals mistakes, now the whole world gets to know!

In Episode #258 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: some potential reasons why mistakes are hard to admit to, ways in which we've stuffed up our lives (apart from the whole things of course), why one might want to fail to make more mistakes and some of the worst blunders of history.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
