Your mind is incredible, but it isn’t always as objective as you think. In this rerun episode of Changing Minds, I explore 21 of the most common cognitive biases that quietly shape your decisions every single day—whether in your career, relationships, or personal growth. Why do first impressions stick with us? (Anchoring Bias) Why are we more attuned to potential risks than potential rewards? (Negativity Bias) And why does simply seeing something repeatedly make us feel more positively about it? (Mere Exposure Effect) By understanding these mental shortcuts, you’ll be better equipped to recognize hidden patterns in your thinking and make wiser, more intentional choices. Listen in and discover how to outsmart your brain’s blind spots. Visit my website: owenfitzpatrick.com Join my Newsletter: owenfitzpatrick.com/newsletter
