In this episode #35, we dive into the fascinating world of Cognitive Biases, the mental shortcuts/Mental traps that often lead us to poor conclusions and decision making. We explore biases like the Spotlight Effect, where we believe others are more focused on us than they really are, and the Halo Effect, which causes us to judge someone’s whole character based on one positive trait. Understanding these cognitive biases help to improve critical thinking and eliminate thinking errors.
