Today, we face complex problems and must navigate through a sea of ambiguous, often irrelevant information. At the same time, crucial information may be missing, difficult to find, or even inaccessible. This can lead to doubt, hesitation, and overthinking. To make matters worse, our judgment is frequently distorted by cognitive biases, leading to poor decisions and failures, that could have been avoided.
Critical thinking is the ability to independently evaluate information, situations, and problems, empowering us to make reasonable decisions. However, this skill requires a systematic, deliberate, and consistent approach. Mastering it allows us to achieve better outcomes, solve problems effectively, and reach our goals. In this lecture, you’ll learn about the most common cognitive biases and strategies to overcome them.
