In today’s episode of The Daily Drive, we dive into the availability heuristic—the mental shortcut that makes us prioritize vivid, recent, or emotionally charged examples over actual probabilities or broader patterns. From letting sensational news drive fear to overestimating risks based on personal anecdotes, this bias can skew our judgment in critical ways. Tune in as we discuss actionable methods to combat this bias, including seeking diverse data points, questioning easy conclusions, and anchoring decisions in evidence over emotion. This episode is your guide to thinking beyond the obvious and sharpening your decision-making process.
