Description
Every second of every day, your brain processes about 11 million bits. And yet, that astonishing number just isn't enough to get you through your day. Consequently, your brain takes some shortcuts--and it's those shortcuts, called heuristics, that make it all work. Some shortcuts are completely benign and helpful--such as your ability to recognize your child even if half his face is in shadow or your ability to imagine tomorrow even though you will never actually see it. But other heuristics are faulty and can bias your decision-making inappropriately. In Understanding Cognitive Biases, you will learn how to recognize these biases for what they are, counteract them when necessary, and even use them to your advantage in some instances.
