Paperback. THE PRICE OF BEING RIGHT: Why Defending an Error Costs More Than Making OneThere is a moment, in almost every mistake, when admitting it would still be cheap. Most people miss it. Not because they are foolish, but because the moment passes quietly, disguised as patience, loyalty, or the simple wish to see how things turn out. By the time the mistake announces itself, the price of admitting it has already multiplied.Alexander Chanthunya has watched this happen from both sides of the desk: as a lawyer trained to confront the strongest argument against his own case, and as a man who once lost more than $20,000 across seventeen months of trading, watching four screens that told him everything except the one thing he needed to know, that his reason for continuing had already failed.This book is about the gap between those two selves, and the mechanism that connects them. It argues that the original error is rarely the expensive part. What grows the bill is what comes after: the explanations built to protect a decision once evidence has turned against it, the sunk cost mistaken for a reason to continue, the pride that treats reconsideration as defeat. Money spent, time invested, and a reputation for being right can all conspire to keep a person moving forward long after the reasons for starting have quietly disappeared.Drawing on real disciplinary cases in which lawyers were sanctioned not for their original misconduct but for refusing to acknowledge it, alongside sharp, recognizable scenes from business, relationships, and daily life, the book traces how commitment curdles into self-justification, how attention narrows to protect a preferred conclusion, and how ordinary people become unreliable witnesses to their own decisions. It also offers something rarer than diagnosis: working tools. The written prediction. The deadline set before pressure arrives. The outside reader with standing to ask an inconvenient question. Devices built not to guarantee good judgment, but to make bad judgment more expensive to hide.This is not a case for indecision. Commitment is necessary, and second-guessing every choice is its own kind of failure. The harder discipline is telling the difference: knowing when persistence reflects sound reasoning, and when it has quietly become a project to defend an earlier self who no longer has access to what you now know.At its center, this book makes one demand of its reader: separate what a decision once was worth from what it is worth now. The error belongs to the past. What you do next is a new decision, and it deserves to be made with the evidence in front of you, not the pride behind you. This item is printed on demand.

There is a moment, in almost every mistake, when admitting it would still be cheap. Most people miss it. Not because they are foolish, but because the moment passes quietly, disguised as patience, loyalty, or the simple wish to see how things turn out.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
