About this listen

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. In early recovery, a little bit of success can lead to a dangerous overconfidence, causing us to neglect our routines, skip meetings, or put ourselves in risky situations. This episode is a compassionate exploration of humility, teaching you how to maintain a "beginner's mind" and respect the lifelong nature of the recovery journey, ensuring that confidence doesn't turn into complacency.
