As humans, we never fail to think that we are highly intelligent beings, and that we are mentally superior than any other creatures found on Earth.
Well, that...... may be true.
However, we can be equally stupid and dumb too.
Worse still, we don't even realize it - in terms of how we can make erroneous judgments, decisions and choices, based on how our mind processes and filters information, as well as how our belief system works.
As intriguing and exciting this topic is to me, I find it difficult to illustrate the concepts involve, and that took me nearly 6 months to complete this work. (The Planning Fallacy in play?!) Throughout writing this deck, I've made a total of 8 major revisions before coming to this final piece.
I hope you'll find this deck both interesting and useful!
This document shares a lengthy Chinese proverb about money and luck. It claims the proverb originated in the Netherlands and has gone around the world 8 times, bringing good luck to those who forward it to others within 4 days of receiving it. The document includes several stories of people who forwarded the proverb and subsequently experienced wealth or good fortune, implying the same will happen for the reader if they share it. It instructs readers to send exactly 20 copies of the full text to others within 96 hours to receive their own luck.
Do you want to beat the heat this summer? There are a number of ways that you can easily do it. For starters, wear light colored clothes as these reflect light better than darker ones. And choose cotton whenever possible as it easily wicks away moisture from your body. Another tip is to maintain your air conditioning unit by checking and changing the filters when needed. Not only will it cool the room better, it will also help save on electricity cost. For more tips on staying cool during summer, take a look at these slides from Bourne Bathrooms.
The document discusses 10 prevalent types of thinkers: storytellers, visually minded, systems oriented, associative, logical, organizers, architects, intuitives, leaders, and visionaries. Each type has a distinct approach to processing ideas and information. The document recommends forming teams with diverse thinking styles when working on projects, as different perspectives can lead to more creative solutions. Pairing individuals with varying styles allows ideas to be approached from multiple angles.
hinking, Fast and Slow is a best-selling[1] book published during 2011 by Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences laureate Daniel Kahneman. It was the 2012 winner of the National Academies Communication Award for best creative work that helps the public understanding of topics of behavioral science, engineering and medicine.[2]
The book summarizes research that Kahneman performed during decades, often in collaboration with Amos Tversky.[3][4] It covers all three phases of his career: his early work concerning cognitive biases, his work on prospect theory, and his later work on happiness.
The slide discusses about the different topics of the book.
This document provides tips from 31 experts on how to create an effective presentation. It discusses conducting research on the audience and topic, conceptualizing the presentation around a central message or story, structuring the content visually and in an outline, designing the presentation deck with visuals and formatting, and practicing the speech through multiple dry runs. The tips emphasize understanding the audience, defining the key takeaway, using storytelling principles, removing unnecessary content, and rehearsing frequently to improve delivery.
As thinking human beings and team leaders or architects we can benefit from knowing more about how we think, deliberate and decide. Most teams rely on trust, transparency, collaboration, and collective decision-making. āThinking, Fast and Slow,ā by Daniel Kahneman explains two systems that drive how we think. System 1 thinking is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slow, deliberate, and logical.
In this presentation you learn how fast and slow thinking affects your reactions, behaviors, and decision-making. Youāll explore how several common development practices (with an emphasis on some agile practices), can amplify and exploit your thinking abilities and where they might lead you astray.
Fast thinking works pretty well in a well-known context. You save time when you donāt have to deliberate over details and nuances in order to make informed decisions. But fast thinking can lead to extremely poor decisions. You might jump to conclusions, be wildly optimistic, or greatly under-assess risks and rewards. You need to exploit both fast and slow thinking and be acutely aware of when fast thinking is tripping you up.
This document summarizes key ideas from Daniel Kahneman's book "Thinking Fast and Slow" about two modes of thinking - System 1 thinking which is fast, automatic, and emotional and System 2 thinking which is slower, more deliberative, and logical. It describes various cognitive biases that result from System 1 thinking such as priming, familiarity, and the halo effect. It provides tips for avoiding cognitive biases in business contexts like hiring and planning. The overall message is that while intuitive thinking has its place, it's important to recognize cognitive biases and use deliberate, data-driven System 2 thinking when high stakes decisions are involved.
1. The document discusses cognitive biases and how the human brain uses shortcuts and heuristics to process massive amounts of information which can lead to systematic errors and biases.
2. It provides examples of 20 common cognitive biases like confirmation bias, availability heuristic, and anchoring that influence human behavior and decision making.
3. The biases stem from the brain's attempts to filter information, find patterns, make quick judgments, and reduce mental workload for efficiency, but can result in ignoring disconfirming evidence, exaggerating risks or overgeneralizing.

Some biases discussed include availability bias, anchoring bias, confirmation bias, and search satisficing bias where clinicians fixate on initial diagnoses and do not fully consider alternatives. The document emphasizes the importance of balancing intuitive and analytical thinking to make well-informed decisions.

This document discusses cognitive biases, which are systematic ways that the framing of information influences judgment and decision-making in ways that deviate from rational objectivity. It notes that while cognitive biases sometimes make thinking faster, they can also lead to errors. It then explores four problems that contribute to cognitive biases: there is too much information to consider everything; not enough meaning is derived from limited information; quick decisions are needed; and memory is limited so not everything can be remembered. Finally, it provides examples of specific cognitive biases like the availability heuristic and the bias blind spot.

Presented at CodeMash 2015. By Joseph Ours
Joseph's presentation is based on the book "Thinking Fast and Slow" where Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman introduces two mental systems, one that is fast and the other slow. Together they shape our impressions of the world around us and help us make choices. System 1 is largely unconscious and makes snap judgments based upon memories of similar events and our emotions. System 2 is painfully slow, and is the process by which we consciously check the facts and think carefully and rationally. System 2 is easily distracted. System 1 is wrong quite often. Real-world examples that demonstrate how the two systems work are that pro golfers will more accurately putt for par than they do for birdie regardless of distance and people will buy more cans of soup when there is a sign on the display that says ālimit 12 per customer."
Three business basics to always remember! People don't care about your brand. They care about what you can do for them. Back to basics... Give people what they want, do it consistently and do it better than your competition.
System 1 and System 2 thinking, biases, and decision-making processes are complex. While we like to think we make rational decisions based on all available information, in reality we are prone to numerous cognitive biases that can negatively impact decision quality. Some key biases discussed include overconfidence, excessive optimism, confirmation bias, anchoring bias, sunk cost fallacy, loss aversion, and groupthink. Proper decision-making requires understanding these biases and implementing quality controls such as considering alternative options, dissenting views, and worst case scenarios to overcome natural human tendencies towards oversimplification and inertia. Collecting the right data, collaborating across silos, and focusing on what is truly important rather than just measurable are also important for improving
Habits at Work - Merci Victoria Grace, Growth, Slack - 2016 Habit SummitHabit Summit

Presented at the 2016 Habit Summit at Stanford (see: www.HabitSummit.com)
Merci Victoria Grace leads the Growth team at Slack.
Prior to joining Slack, she started a venture-backed game company, designed The Sims Social at Electronic Arts, and worked at a range of consumer, mobile and enterprise startups.
Here she shares insights on putting "Habits to Work at Work".
Critical thinking is a intellectually disciplined process of actively and skilfully conceptualising, applying, synthesising and evaluating information gathered by observation, experience, reasoning or communication as a guide to belief and action.
The document discusses the power of the subconscious mind and how to harness its infinite intelligence. It states that the subconscious mind governs vital functions and can be used to transform one's life by mentally focusing on the good we wish to embody each night before sleep. It provides guidance on positively programming the subconscious mind through affirmations, visualization, forgiving others, and believing in one's talents to achieve success and fulfill desires.
This document introduces the concept of critical thinking and outlines the key tools used in each stage of critical thinking. It discusses that critical thinking involves gathering facts, evaluating the facts, drawing a logical conclusion, and then evaluating the conclusion. It provides examples of questions to ask at each stage, including who, what, when for gathering facts, and relevance and significance for evaluating facts. It emphasizes that critical thinking is a process of thinking clearly and carefully through asking questions at each step.
Ever wondered why some people are so talented creatively while you're not? It's not just a gift this creative lark - it's also a skill, and like any skill it needs time and practice to hone it.
We're influenced by the creativity we see around - but in art, other design work, nature and in our every day belief and attitude to life.
The more your eyes are open - the more you'll see the creativity surrounding you.
Here at Presented, we've put together a small presentation on what we think are the essential tips about how to reveal your inner creativity.
Enjoy!
Karlyn Borysenko and I discuss the elements of putting together an impactful presentation and how to submit them to conferences.
Originally presented at Penn State Web - updated and reshared at HighEdWeb 2016 in Memphis Tennessee.
The document discusses adopting a new mindset for the new year by rejecting your old self and default attitudes, listening to new perspectives, favoring expanded awareness, finding the shortest paths, and transforming your mindset into a gate of freedom.
Thinking has many different classifications, out of which a prominent classification and explanation was given by Edward de Bono.

The Science of Story: How Brands Can Use Storytelling To Get More CustomersDigital Surgeons
Ā
Storytelling is not only an entertaining source for information, but a way to engage and humanize our messages that helps them stick. Our brains are wired for stories. Like a drug, we seek them out. Good stories create lasting emotional connections that persuade, educate, entertain, and convert consumers into brand loyalists.
Hereās another good reason to believe in the power of stories: You don't have a goddamn choice. We spend a third of our waking hours crafting stories, and the rest of the time consuming them. Our brains are always searching for stories. You need stories. You live your life around stories. Your life itself is a story. So, now find out how you can use them to better understand how brands and businesses can use storytelling to increase engagement and sales.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
Reasoning helps individuals arrive at better beliefs and decisions by scrutinizing their own intuitions and correcting mistakes. However, reasoning often fails to do this because people have a confirmation bias, where they seek out and favor information that confirms their preexisting beliefs. This confirmation bias is robust, prevalent among all people regardless of cognitive ability or emotion, and specifically an issue with reasoning rather than other cognitive processes.

Zimbabwe is facing many political and economic problems under the leadership of President Robert Mugabe since 1980. Mugabe has used intimidation tactics to remain in power through flawed elections and seized white-owned farms in 2000, contributing to Zimbabwe becoming unable to feed itself despite being once known as the "breadbasket of Africa". The document examines Zimbabwe's crisis and attributes much of the blame to Mugabe's authoritarian leadership over the past several decades.

This document discusses common cognitive biases that negatively impact risk assessment abilities. It is a summary of a 6-part series by Dr. Daniel Crosby on errors in risk assessment and why people are poor at assessing risk. The summary focuses on the first 4 parts which discuss the availability heuristic, affect heuristic, illusion of control, and illusion of uniqueness biases. It explains how these biases can distort perceptions of risk and likelihood and cause poor investment decisions as a result. People should be aware of these cognitive limitations and seek diverse opinions to make more well-informed decisions.

The Benefit and Manner of
Asking the Right Questions
THE NOISY, CONFUSED WORLD WE LIVE IN
This book encourages you to learn something we think can change your life
for the better. That something is "critical thinking." But there is an imaginary
world that some of us inhabit where there is no need at all for critical think-
ing. In this imaginary world several conditions prevail:
1. We are each allowed the independence to make decisions about reli-
gion, politics, and what we will and will not buy or believe. Advertisers,
marketers, public relations specialists, campaign managers, and advo-
cates of various worldviews will provide us only the information that we
need to make decisions that result in building a life that we choose.
2. Anyone trying to persuade us of anything will always explain the disad-
vantages of what he or she wants us to do.
3. Any time we are confused about one of life's important questions, we
can quickly find a dependable expert, authority, or wise person. Fur-
thermore, these voices of knowledge will all agree with one another. In
short, we need not be anxious about what to do or believe because the
wise ones will have the answer. Our task is simply to locate and listen to
them.
4. Our minds are calm, engaged, reflective, and curious whenever faced
with an important choice.
We hope you realize that the world we actually live in is nothing like the
Never-Never Land, we just described.

2 Chapter 1 ā¢ The Benefit and Manner of Asking the Right Questions
In the real world, we are assaulted on all sides by others who insist that
we must do what they tell us we should do. They know best. They know
what we should wear, eat, buy, and believe. They claim to possess a truth
that we must accept. They say they want to help us. They will not leave us
alone to form our own understanding of who we should become.
As an illustration, in a 5-minute Internet search we found the following
advice with respect to the relatively simple question: Should we use more tea?
These were all found on web sites urging you to buy more tea.
ā¢ Use green tea to ease itching and swelling.
ā¢ Use strong tea as a disinfectant on cuts and bruises.
ā¢ Use strong tea to treat athlete's foot. Bathe the foot twice a day for ten
minutes for up to several weeks.
ā¢ Press rehydrated tealeaves on teeth to reduce the pain of toothache.
ā¢ Chewing rehydrated tealeaves cleanses the breath.
ā¢ Soak a towel in warm tea, and place the towel on tired eyes to refresh
them.
ā¢ Wash the face with warm tea to reduce skin rashes and pimples.
ā¢ Rinse washed hair with strong tea for shine and softness.
The people making these claims want us to change our behavior. Planning to
buy more tea?
To make matters worse, those trying to persuade us do not play fair as
they try to shape us. They tell us half-truths at best. The socialist does not
explain the dangers of a large government. The conservative does not explain

The document discusses how our senses allow us to perceive the world and how perception influences learning. It notes that we must actively select what to focus on and that perception is shaped by experiences. It emphasizes that continuing education is important for many careers as fields evolve. For example, those in medical fields will need additional training for new treatments, codes, and policies to stay current. Using all our senses when learning helps make the process more global and meaningful.
IntroductionEvery author, I suppose, has in mind a set.docxvrickens

Introduction
Every author, I suppose, has in mind a setting in which readers of his or her work could benefit
from having read it. Mine is the proverbial office watercooler, where opinions are shared and
gossip is exchanged. I hope to enrich the vocabulary that people use when they talk about the
judgments and choices of others, the companyās new policies, or a colleagueās investment
decisions. Why be concerned with gossip? Because it is much easier, as well as far more
enjoyable, to identify and label the mistakes of others than to recognize our own. Questioning what
we believe and want is difficult at the best of times, and especially difficult when we most need to
do it, but we can benefit from the informed opinions of others. Many of us spontaneously anticipate
how friends and colleagues will evaluate our choices; the quality and content of these anticipated
judgments therefore matters. The expectation of intelligent gossip is a powerful motive for serious
self-criticism, more powerful than New Year resolutions to improve oneās decision making at
work and at home.
To be a good diagnostician, a physician needs to acquire a large set of labels for diseases, each
of which binds an idea of the illness and its symptoms, possible antecedents and causes, possible
developments and consequences, and possible interventions to cure or mitigate the illness.
Learning medicine consists in part of learning the language of medicine. A deeper understanding of
judgments and choices also requires a richer vocabulary than is available in everyday language.
The hope for informed gossip is that there are distinctive patterns in the errors people make.
Systematic errors are known as biases, and they recur predictably in particular circumstances.
When the handsome and confident speaker bounds onto the stage, for example, you can anticipate
that the audience will judge his comments more favorably than he deserves. The availability of a
diagnostic label for this biasāthe halo effectāmakes it easier to anticipate, recognize, and
understand.
When you are asked what you are thinking about, you can normally answer. You believe you
know what goes on in your mind, which often consists of one conscious thought leading in an
orderly way to another. But that is not the only way the mind works, nor indeed is that the typical
way. Most impressions and thoughts arise in your conscious experience without your knowing how
they got there. You cannot tracryd>e how you came to the belief that there is a lamp on the desk in
front of you, or how you detected a hint of irritation in your spouseās voice on the telephone, or
how you managed to avoid a threat on the road before you became consciously aware of it. The
mental work that produces impressions, intuitions, and many decisions goes on in silence in our
mind.
Much of the discussion in this book is about biases of intuition. However, the focus on error
does not denigrate human intelligence, any m ...
The document discusses Malcolm Gladwell's book "Blink" which examines how quick, unconscious decisions called "thin-slicing" can be as accurate as slower, deliberate decisions. It describes several studies including art experts correctly identifying fakes within seconds, a tennis coach predicting double faults, and gamblers unconsciously favoring better decks of cards before consciously realizing. While quick decisions can be accurate, biases from implicit associations can also influence them. The document argues we can improve quick decisions through experience, understanding our biases, and using priming to temporarily change associations.

Week 3 - Instructor Guidance
Welcome to week three! This week we will jump ahead to the inductive method of logical reasoning. If you will remember, inductive movements go from general to particular, and the logic of induction operates in the realm of probability. In inductive reasoning you are not certain about the answer with the given information, but you can make an educated guess. You will come across inductive arguments all the time in everyday life. Just think about buying a car. Most of us judge whether or not to buy a certain kind of car based upon past experiences that we have had or our friends have had. If the past two cars that I bought were a Ford, and they fell into pieces after a couple of years, then odds are I will not buy a Ford again when I am perusing the car lot. There are several different kinds of inductive argument.
One major type of inductive argument (like the one I just mentioned) is the argument from analogy or analogical inductive argument. An analogy is where you compare the property of one thing to the property of another. You can spot these when they are in written form because ālikeā English principles of speech, an analogy compares two things together using ālikeā or āasā. For example, āMen are like parking spots. All the good ones are taken, and the rest are handicapped.ā This was a funny analogy that my sister used to say when she was single. What is the ātargetā of the analogy and what is the āpropertyā in question being related. It is obvious in this example that men are the targets of the analogy (and the butt of my sisterās joke). The properties in question are availability and desirability because since in the one instance the good guys are already taken by other women, and in the second instance the remaining men are not of good quality. You will probably be able to spot these analogous thought processes in your everyday thinking if you stop and think about it. Inductive arguments are not valid (like deductive arguments) they are strong or weak depending on the logic. For analogical arguments, it is the closeness of the properties being compared between the two things that matters. If you were comparing someone who hurt your feelings to Adolf Hitler, then the analogy would be pretty weak.
Another form of inductive reasoning is āinductive generalizationā. This is where you take a sample or piece from a class of things and āgeneralizeā about the whole group or class. If you are shopping for an apple at the grocery store and the first five apples you pull out are completely rotten, then you might generalize that the whole bin is spoiled. We would be more inclined to affirm that the whole bin is spoiled if there were only ten apples than if there were 100 apples. This is because the larger the sample size of the generalization the stronger the induction. This is most true when you consider scientific studies or social science surveys. You want the cancer study to have used a sample group of larger than .

A Different Perspective - Rediscovering BiasAlex Clapson
Ā
The document discusses confirmation bias, a psychological phenomenon where people tend to seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs and ignore information that contradicts them. It explains how confirmation bias can negatively impact objectivity and decision making by leading people to ignore alternative perspectives. Several strategies are proposed for overcoming confirmation bias, such as actively seeking out opposing viewpoints, taking time to consider decisions thoroughly, and having others challenge one's assessments.
The document discusses various cognitive biases and heuristics that influence human decision-making and judgment. It provides examples of availability bias, representative bias, anchoring and adjustment, framing, confirmation bias, hindsight bias, priming, and escalation of commitment. It also discusses positive illusions and ways to debias thinking such as using detailed documentation, counterintuitive examples, diverse perspectives, and disconfirming evidence.
Confirmation Bias - May 2016 Professional Social Work magazine articleAlex Clapson

Confirmation bias is a psychological phenomenon where people tend to seek out and favor information that confirms their preexisting beliefs, and ignore or dismiss information that contradicts their beliefs. This can lead people to make flawed judgments and assessments. The article discusses how confirmation bias can subtly influence professionals' perspectives in case handovers and meetings. It also explains how understanding confirmation bias can help social workers avoid making biased assessments and consider all perspectives to ensure accurate and impartial decisions.

Notes on Decisive presentation by Chip and Dan HeathThu Nguyen
Ā
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on the book "Decisive" by Dan Heath. It outlines a 4 part process for making better decisions called WRAP: 1) Widen Your Options to consider more alternatives, 2) Reality-Test Assumptions to avoid confirmation bias, 3) Attain Distance Before Deciding to gain perspective, and 4) Prepare To Be Wrong by establishing "tripwires" to catch mistakes. Examples are given of how narrow thinking and short-term emotion can lead to bad decisions. The WRAP process is presented as a way to make more informed choices by considering more data and perspectives.
This document summarizes several articles on behavioral science topics. It discusses research on how satisfaction declines as money runs out (bottom dollar effect), how casinos use psychology to increase time spent gambling, how personality stability peaks in midlife, and strategies to nudge healthy eating through menu design. It also announces upcoming events from the London Behavioural Economics Network and a new book on designing environments for happiness.
This document discusses how people use rationalization and denial to justify behaviors that contradict evidence or are potentially harmful. It provides examples of risky behaviors like tailgating, binge drinking, and not exercising, and common rationalizations people use like "I'm a good driver" or "you only live once." The document suggests people do this unconsciously to avoid feeling uncomfortable about behaviors that don't align with facts. It maintains changing behaviors is difficult due to denial and addiction.

The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers analyzed data from dozens of countries and found that lockdowns led to an average decline of nearly 30% in nitrogen dioxide levels across major cities. However, they also observed that the reductions in air pollution were temporary and that levels began to rise again as restrictions eased and human activity increased.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.

18. Heuristics are mental shortcuts or
strategies that people use to form
judgements and make decisions
without having to spend too
much time researching and
analyzing information.
19. These rule-of-thumb strategies shorten decision-making
time and allow people to function without constantly
stopping to think about their next course of action.
20. Whether we are aware of it or
not, we apply heuristics in our
everyday life whenever weāre
trying to make a decision or to
solve a problem.
21. We so frequently and automatically
employ these efficient mental rules
because they work and serve us well
under many circumstances.
25. Cognitive biases are habitual and
predictable ways of thinking that
leads to errors .
26. They are the innate tendencies of
the human mind to think, judge,
and behave in irrational ways.
27. When we are making judgments and decisions
about the world around us, we like to think
that we are objective, logical, and capable
of taking in and evaluating all the
information that is available to us.
28. The reality is,
however, that our
judgments and
decisions are often
riddled With errors
and influenced by
a wide variety of
biases.
29. Interestingly, many of us are
largely unaware of these built
-in psychological inefficiencies
despite the frequency with
which they occur in our daily
lives and the regularity with
which we fall victim to them.
36. Later on, you found out that another car dealer was
offering the exact same model for just $22,000!
37. That was a full $3,000 less than what you paid for,
and $4,000 less than the average price you found online.
-$ 3,000
-$ 4,000
38. Afterwards, you might berate yourself for making
that quick decision to buy on the first offer and
not shopping around more for a better deal!
39.
40. When people are trying
to make a decision, they
often use an āanchorā or
focal point as a reference
or starting point.
41. Studies have shown that people have the tendency
to rely too much on the very first piece of information
that is offered (the āanchorā) when making decisions.
42. In short, it means that we favor the
first bit of information we learn.
43.
44.
45.
46. Now, back to the car buying experience
we talked about earlier.
47. Since your initial research indicated
that $26,000 was the average
price, the first offer you
encountered seemed like
a great deal.
48. You overlooked further
information, such as the
possibility that other
dealers might have lower
prices, and made a
decision on the information
you already had, which
served as an anchoring
point in your mind.
49. In 1998, a group of psychologists designed a
field study to look at how setting Purchase
Quantity Limits affect buying behavior.
56. shoppers who bought soup from the display with no
limit purchased an average
of 3.3 cans of soup,
57. whereas buyers with
limits of 12 purchased an
average of 7 cans of soup.
shoppers who bought soup from the display with no
limit purchased an average
of 3.3 cans of soup,
73. Confirmation bias tells us that we donāt perceive
circumstances objectively -
We only pick out those bits of data that make us feel
good because they validate our pre-existing beliefs,
opinions and prejudices.
74. .
If you believe in UFOs and aliens
(or any other weird stuff) ā¦ā¦
75. .
Then, youāll probably be spending your time trying to
search for information and evidence to prove that
they exist, so as to confirm your belief.

84. After doing this exercise, are you now convinced
that there are more words beginning with the letter
R than there are words with R as the 3rd letter?
85. Well, according to Quora, there are 22,809
English words that have R as the third letter,
but only 8,955 words that begin with R.
86.
87. The availability heuristic is a useful mental shortcut
that aids us in determining the frequency and
probability of something that might happen.
88. It is the ease with which
instances come to mind.
89. When we are trying
to make a decision,
a number of related
events or situations
would immediately
spring to our mind.
90. And because those events are more readily available
in our memories, we tend to assume that those
situations happen more frequently than others.
91. We then make our decisions and choices
based on those assumptions, often, without
even considering other alternatives.
92. Things that come to mind with more ease
are believed to be far more common and
more accurate reflections of the real world.
93. Also, under the influence of availability heuristic, people
have the tendency to heavily weigh their judgments
toward more recent information, making new opinions
biased toward the latest news that they received.
94. Many of us simply love thriller
movies featuring terrifying
man-eating sharks.
95. It has been observed that at
times when such blockbusters
were being screened, the news
media often joined the hype by
making reports of Shark attacks more frequently.
96. Regularly flashing and exposing news and media

112. The gamblerās fallacy is the
tendency to expect outcomes
to āeven outā over the short
run for random events.
113. It is the mistaken belief that, for random
independent events, the lower the frequency
of an outcome in the recent past, the greater
is the likelihood of that outcome in the future.
114. The belief is false because it is based on the
assumption that chance is āself-correctingā,
so that a shift in one direction indicates an
impending shift in the opposite direction.
115. It springs out of our misinterpretation of random
events because our perception of how random
things ought to be, is just not random at all.
116. Way back in the Year 1913,
at the Monte Carlo Casinoā¦ā¦
117. People were running to this particular table of roulette
where 16 blacks had come out in a row.
118. Everyone was trying to put a
Red bet down because it was
āsupposed toā due for one.
130. When making a task-completion prediction, peopleās natural
inclination is to plan out the specific steps that they will
take to successfully complete the project.
131. The problem with this approach
is that events donāt usually
unfold exactly as planned.
132. Given the vast amount of potential obstacles,
there is a great likelihood that people will encounter
unexpected problems, delays, and interruptions.
133. The people who built the Sydney Opera House
were expecting that it would be completed in
the Year 1963.
134. However, it was only until 10 years later - in
1973 - that a scaled-down version finally opened.
140. Although you were unwell and
most definitely wouldnāt enjoy
it, you still went anyway.
141. You didnāt want to
āwaste your moneyā,
so you rather went
and suffered.
142.
143. A sunk cost is any past cost
that has already been paid
and cannot be recovered.
144. The sunk cost may not necessarily be a precise quantity,
but an economic term for a sum paid, in the past, that
is no longer relevant to decisions about the future.
145. The sunk cost fallacy is the tendency of people to
irrationally follow through on an activity that is
not meeting their expectations because of the time
and/or money they have already spent on it.
146. It arises out of aversion to
loss and describes how a
past decision can influence
a present or future decision.
147. It involves an individual
making a decision about a
current situation based on
what they have previously
invested in the situation.
148. Sunk cost fallacy makes
you finish the meal when
you are already full.
149. It makes you hold on to investments
that are underperforming.
150. It makes you sit through a sucky movie
which could bore you to death.
151. It fills your home with things you no longer want or use.

154. The term āheuristic reasoningā is popularized by the most
influential psychologists working in the area of Human
Judgment - Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky.
155. Kahneman, an Israeli-
American psychologist who
originally studied attention,
became world famous when
he published (1970) a series
of experimental studies with
Tversky on how people assess
probabilities in everyday life,
which shortcuts (heuristics)
they use and what biases
that can occur in such
assessments.
156. They also developed a theory of decision making
under uncertainty, which at key points deviates
from prevailing economic models.
