At last! We’re beginning our discussion on the actual biases that impact our behaviour and decision-making abilities. In this episode, we delve into what biases actually are and explore some psychology around how our brains process information.

We thought it would be a good idea to start this discussion around biases with explaining Daniel Kahneman’s concept of System 1 and System 2 thinking. To help with unpacking this, we brought in Dr Daniel Crosby, a psychologist and New York Times best-selling author, as our guest. He’s also the host of his own podcast, called Standard Deviations.
