#339 The 7 Cognitive Biases Holding You Back and How to Override Them

The word "bias" as defined in the dictionary (Success Through Failure episode 339: The 7 Cognitive Biases Secretly Holding You Back and How to Override Them)What are your cognitive biases and how are they holding you back? 

Our actions are fueled by our unconscious defaults.

Why you choose one restaurant over another…
The way you interact with your boss…
How you talk about and handle adversity…

All of these happen because you act upon your “cognitive biases.”

Cognitive biases are your defaults and assumptions that make day-to-day decision-making simpler. But inasmuch as it’s useful, cognitive bias is flawed.

Your biases can hold you back because they don’t always result in good decisions. BUT becoming aware of these biases can help you override them— and that’s exactly what we’re going to do in this episode.

Listen in as I reveal 7 cognitive biases and how you can override them to have a better life, achieve more goals, and ultimately, find success through failure.
