Kathryn Schulz: On Being Wrong


"Most of us will do anything to avoid being wrong. But what if we're wrong about that? "Wrongologist" Kathryn Schulz makes a compelling case for not just admitting but embracing our fallibility."

  1. I found your website by chance and used this lesson with students the past two days and it went down really well with everyone. Very interesting topic. Both my student who I give private classes to and I had tears in our eyes by the end of the talk (strange moment) - pretty powerful stuff. Just want to say thank you anyway. I'm an Irish teacher teaching in Madrid and these ready-made lessons save me so much time and hassle. Thank you!

    1. I'm glad it helped. It's nice to hear feedback. I had a great time using the stuff from TED myself. At the time, I couldn't find dedicated lessons, so I decided to put together my own. Feel free to use any of the stuff in any way you like.
