Debug Your Mind

We make important decisions and try and solve critical problems everyday. But our decisions and problem solving is based on faulty memory and our emotional state at the time. We tend to ignore crucial facts and fixate on irrelevant details because of where and when they occur, or whether they are brightly colored.

Especially if they are brightly colored.

Join Andy Hunt for this talk from his book Pragmatic Thinking and Learning, that explores common cognitive biases which can dramatically affect your decision making and problem solving skills. You’ll learn why most predictions are wrong from the start. Together we’ll look at aspects of context which can subtly affect you, including generational affinity and personalty tendencies. Even your own brain’s legacy hardware can work against you, and you’ll learn how to recognize and stop that when it happens.
