Ego Blindspots: 9 Cognitive Biases to Avoid [Biases #1]


Listen Later

Build self-awareness and recognise the mind traps we easily fall into every day.

We examine 9 different cognitive biases related to Ego and how we can spot them.


Learn:

  • When our ego serves us or sabotages us
  • Why we fall in love for the wrong reasons
  • How our bias to perceive ambiguity as hostility almost triggered a Nuclear war

  • From panicking over getting some ketchup on our trousers to explosive road rage, cognitive biases can give us an answer.

    Learning how to recognise our own biases can lead to a much calmer, kinder and more successful life.
