In this podcast episode, we dive into 21 cognitive biases, fallacies, and mental shortcuts that shape how we make decisions, inspired by Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow." We discuss common thinking errors like cognitive dissonance, the spotlight effect, anchoring bias, and confirmation bias, and how they influence our everyday judgments and choices. While we can't completely eliminate these biases, understanding them is essential for making more rational and thoughtful decisions, especially in negotiations, evaluating others, and processing information. The episode also offers practical strategies to help reduce the negative effects of these cognitive traps.
