"we must allow ourselves to admit errors freely, without the burden of criticism"
This reminded me of the work by Argyris and Schon regarding double loop learning (http://www.infed.org/thinkers/argyris.htm) and an interesting ted talk about whether schools kill creativity (http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_s ... ivity.html)
It seems people are obsessed about getting 'it right' and miss the opportunity of learning from mistakes, myself included.

Whilst it is great to read about the mechanics of the mind and how we learn etc, I can't help but feel books like these are more about psychological aspects rather than driving in it's purest sense.
