But why do we, however smart we are, make these mistakes and keep making them over and over again throughout our lives? The answer lies in our cognitive biases and the solution to these struggles lies in learning how to spot and avoid our biases.

Loved It!
The author of this book has broken down 10 cognitive biases that keep us from making better decisions. Think of a cognitive bias as a way of seeing the world. For instance, you believe that if you are currently on a winning streak, you will continue to keep doing so; this is overconfidence bias. The author talks about these in an easy-to-read conversational tone. It is not dry, boring, or overladen with abstract psychological terms. You don't even really have to understand the concept of cognitive bias to get a lot out of this book that points out errors in our decision-making processes. I like that each chapter has examples of the bias at work and that the author talks about how these biases can affect decisions in different realms of life, like work and relationships as well as those that could cost us money. I particularly like the stop-and-think section in each chapter, which is a list of questions to help you make a better decision that particular bias comes into play. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to make better decisions.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
