P.S. Younger Self

Cognitive Biases Explained - How to Out Smart Your Brain


Listen Later

Did you know that there are over 180 documented cognitive biases that can subtly influence our decision-making?

In this episode, host Chris Oh delves into five common cognitive biases—confirmation bias, anchoring effect, halo effect, availability heuristic, and WYSIATI (What You See Is All There Is)—drawing insights from Daniel Kahneman's best-selling book, Thinking, Fast and Slow. She explores how these biases shape our thinking and decisions, often without us even realizing it, and shares personal examples of when each cognitive bias affected her own choices.

Chris also offers practical strategies she uses to overcome these cognitive biases, helping you to also make better decisions in both professional and personal situations. This is a must-listen for anyone looking to sharpen their decision-making skills and avoid the pitfalls of biased thinking.
