The Psychology of Mistakes - 7 Ways To Fix Lazy Thinking
Manage episode 447374430 series 2398788
We celebrate 'hard work" but forget to consider the benefits of thinking "hard thoughts".
This episode teaches how to navigate uncertainty without taking easy options by building a capacity for complexity.
- Allow doubt to improve our decisions
- Understand multiple causes behind outcomes
- Reduce judgement of others
- Improve your field of vision
- Weight statistics properly
- Take ownership of forming opinion without using others
- Accept lower confidence and greater accuracy
The mind is full of complexity and it relentlessly tries to optimise and take shortcuts. This serves is well in many aspects but cultivating a practice of taking the harder path in our thinking allows us to see hidden truths behind out assumptions.
To arrive at better decisions we need to learn to balance uncertainty with statistics and see beyond our limited field of view. It isn't easy but the benefits can greatly improve your outcomes and your mindsets.
