30 cognitive biases & psychological misjudgments - part 1 (Do YOU Know thyself?)
Whether we know it or not, we all have biases in our thinking. Want to know how to recognize them and even benefit from them? You can, as you are taking a big step towards increased self-awareness by learning about them and how to minimize their potential downsides, so thanks for checking out this video, hopefully, you enjoy what you see. In the future, there may be individual videos covering each section but for now, we went with a concise overview.
*There is a correction that needs to be made at (00:47) where Epictetus is mistakenly quoted. The quote is actually from Kevin Vost from his book on Stoicism. I apologize for the misattribution and am not able to edit it out due to malfunctions in the YouTube editor that cause the entire audio to become out of alignment.
