Changing Minds with Owen Fitzpatrick
How your Brain Tricks you: Cognitive Biases of Perception
16 Sep 2024
Your brain is a powerful tool—but it also has its blind spots. In this episode of Changing Minds, I take you through 21 cognitive biases that affect your everyday decisions, from your relationships to your work life. Why do first impressions last so long? (Anchoring Bias) Why do we focus on what could go wrong rather than what could go right? (Negativity Bias) How can simply being familiar with something make you like it more? (Mere Exposure Effect) Understanding these biases can help you make more informed decisions and avoid common mental traps. Tune in and learn how to think smarter, not harder!
