Welcome to another episode of Doing Well: The Well-Being Science Insights Podcast. Host Lu Ngo is joined by the renowned educator and TED speaker, Lisa Bu, to unravel a common mental habit we all fall victim to: the myside bias. As humans, we often perceive what we want to see rather than what truly exists, a tendency that can lead us astray and result in irrational decisions.
Lisa, hailing from Hunan, China, has been a TED stalwart since 2011, boasting a rich background in talk show production and digital media direction from her days at Wisconsin Public Radio. But her expertise doesn't stop there; she is also a computer programmer with a Ph.D. in journalism and an MBA in information systems from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, coupled with a BA in Chinese from Nanjing University in China.
In this episode, Lisa demystifies the concept of my-side bias, offering real-life examples that vividly illustrate its impact on our decision-making processes. Lu and Lisa explore potential solutions for overcoming this bias, delving into strategies like harnessing emotional intelligence and preventing cognitive dissonance.
