Summary

Tired of making decisions that seem to only work against you? It starts with understanding your brain and the decision-making process. Cognitive biases and heuristics have developed over thousands of years of evolution and can lead to serious damages in multiple areas of life if you don’t recognize them and stop them dead in their tracks.

How Our Brains Betray Us has everything you need to know with examples, tools, and strategies to identify the most powerful cognitive biases that impair all types of decisions, how to avoid them and also use them to your advantage so you can finally feel worthy and confident again.

Inside you will discover:

  • Why our biases matter, and how they can be playing a negative role in your life
  • Different types of biases, like survivorship, egocentric, decision fatigue, and more
  • Why you always seem to take mental shortcuts unconsciously, not realizing the mistakes until it’s too late
  • How to identify the unconscious mental shortcuts that aren’t serving you and how to stop them immediately
  • Exactly how and why a lot of our decision-making process is flawed
  • Real-life examples of different biases in action, and how to avoid the unfulfilling results
  • How to identify your own biases
  • How to finally end FOMO (fear of missing out) for good
  • Tools and strategies to prepare for cognitive biases and use them to your advantage
  • How to make and maintain objective decision-making
  • And much more

If you’re ready to stop falling victim to biases that are only serving to hurt you, then you owe it to yourself to take this journey.... Look no further; scroll up, and grab your copy now!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Awesome!

A must read for anyone interested in mental health. What the author shares is such a no-brainer but somehow it is pushed out of the conversation about mental health.
