Please DO NOT exclude yourself…

The ways people carry on are insane and can alternatively be labeled inhumane, inconsiderate, and even disrespectful. Yes, broad it is and none of any tasteful attributes. Personally, I look for patterns as if life is a math sequence; it is exactly that. All has been done in some way and will be repeated, hence how cognitive biases were identified. People will continually behave in (a) manner(s) that hinder themselves, their success, and/or the people around them.

What is Cognitive?

1 : of, relating to, being, or involving conscious intellectual activity (such as thinking, reasoning, or remembering) cognitive impairment. 2 : based on or capable of being reduced to empirical factual knowledge.

What is Bias?

1. Prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

What is Cognitive Bias?

Humans have a tendency to think in particular ways that can lead to systematic deviations from making rational judgments.

They influence the way we think and act, and such irrational mental shortcuts can lead to all kinds of problems in entrepreneurship, investing, or management.

Wonderful, eye-opening content. There were few lines, which were defining my bias. My God! I felt so guilty. But, surely I can improve.

The negative bias can cause a relationship to fail before it gets anywhere. Being fixated on how things can go left due to previous experiences, can cause you to act in that same manner...

Very true.
