🧠Your Mind’s Shortcuts: Understanding Cognitive Biases
A clear, insightful 2 page summary for clients and clinicians seeking greater self-awareness and wiser decision-making.
Our brains are designed for efficiency, not perfection. To navigate complex situations quickly, the mind relies on mental shortcuts called heuristics. While these shortcuts help us move through life faster, they can quietly distort perception, influence emotions, and shape decisions in ways we don’t consciously notice.
Pioneered by psychologists Amos Tversky and Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, the science of cognitive biases reveals how human thinking is often predictably irrational. These patterns affect everything from relationships and finances to risk assessment and self-perception.
This summary offers a clear, accessible overview of common cognitive biases, helping you recognize how they show up in everyday life. By learning to spot these mental patterns, you gain the power to pause, question automatic assumptions, and make choices that are more intentional, grounded, and aligned with your values.
Perfect for:
• Individuals seeking greater self-awareness and clearer decision-making
• Clients engaged in therapy, personal growth, or mindset work
• Therapists, coaches, and professionals integrating neuroscience-informed psychoeducation
Understand the shortcuts. Expand your awareness. Choose with clarity.
