Lifestyle habits that “carry” you to increased productivity, better health, and career superstardom? Yes, please! How many times have you tried to change your habits? If you’re like most people, more than you care to think about. And how different is your life now? It’s not your fault; the human brain, by nature, doesn’t want to make significant changes. To build new positive habits, you’ll have to “hotwire” your brain. Building new thinking habits is particularly difficult, especially because our society doesn’t prioritize learning thinking habits.

Story
Why do employers judge candidates on the first impression they make, even though they know it’s wrong and often misleading? Why do people smoke, drink to excess, and eat things they know are bad for them? How do normally intelligent people wind up believing fake news stories? To find out, let’s take a trip back in time to Victorian England. A famous story from the Victorian days is that women had to wear corsets. It’s debated how commonplace corsets actually were, but they squeezed a woman’s body like a snake - making the waist look smaller.

Story
Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 200 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture" - a concept the authors invented - to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

Publisher's Summary
Do you have a problem that you can’t see your way around, no matter how hard you try? You may be looking for the answer outside when the obstacles lie within.
We’re all biased.
You may have read the above and already your mind is raising its defenses. No...not me. I haven’t got a biased bone in my body.
The fact is: You do. So does everyone around you.
Several scientific studies, in fact, suggest that certain forms of bias may be hardwired into the human psyche.
Professor Stephen Neuberg, head of Arizona State University’s Department of Psychology published research in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2005 showing that, as a species, we evolved to quickly assess dangers posed by those outside our group to enhance our chances of survival.
Nobel prize winner, Daniel Kahneman, has addressed this phenomenon in numerous articles and in his widely reviewed book, Thinking, Fast and Slow.
The ability to process information rapidly was a life-or-death evolutionary advantage to our human ancestors in the hostile and unforgiving environment they inhabited.
As our environmental landscape changed, we still needed to process information with appropriate speed, but the decisions became increasingly complex and nuanced.
The swift system that evolved to identify and mitigate threats in hunter-gatherer societies became faulty, resulting in several cognitive biases that everyone harbors.
A cognitive bias is an error in thinking and judgment that happens when we selectively or improperly intake information.
Your cognitive biases can be sneaky, making you think you’re more open to the ideas, experiences, and contributions of others than you actually are.
Consequently, you may be tempted to rely more on your own knowledge and judgment, sometimes with disastrous results.
You may also spend hours after a decision, agonizing, particularly those that needed to be made in a short space of time.
Cognitive Biases in a Nutshell will help you to identify and correct the cognitive biases you fall prey to in your everyday life.
Identifying and correcting your biases is just one way you gain from listening to Cognitive Biases In A Nutshell.
The audiobook will also show you:
- The 5 ways your ego tricks you into thinking you know more than you do
- Four mental shortcuts we take that lead to bias and poor decision making, and the best ways to identify them
- How bias exists along a scale and where yours fall on it
- Why being more knowledgeable is a “curse” that may make you more prone to these 3 types of bias
- The art of blending intuitive and logical thinking
- Why you misremember facts, even though you’re “sure” about the details
- What are the Halo and the Horn effects and how you can reduce their impact on your decisions
- How wanting something to be true influences you to “find” evidence that it is and how to avoid this
- And much, much, more
Recognizing your tendencies toward certain cognitive biases makes you a better contributor to society. For example, you are less quick to judge or take things personally once you realize that everyone exhibits cognitive biases.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
