Cognitive Bias Mental Martial Arts Training - E-book : By Aura Stops
Because early adopters are obviously smarter (🧠social proof, anchoring, scarcity, loss aversion — we've got you covered), this early edition of the Cognitive Bias Mental Martial Arts Training Manual is only $14.99 for a limited time, even if it is worth $29.99.
With 365 bite-sized lessons, you'll learn how to train your brain one day at a time. These are the same tricks that politicians, advertisers, and your uncle on Facebook frequently fall for. (Bias in optimism? He has it. Is it confirmation bias? He's soaking it up.)
Every page dispels a particular cognitive bias using actual cases from relationships, business, the media, and propaganda. This can help you avoid snares like "It's on sale, so it must be good" or "Everyone's talking about it, so it must be true."
The program, which is divided into 12 monthly "mental belt levels," advances from fundamental fallacies like availability and anchoring to more complex ones like zealotry paradox, illusory truth, and the classic sunk cost trap. Not a bit of pseudoscience. No nonsense. Simply practice every day to improve your mental acuity. By the end, you will be able to think more clearly, make decisions more quickly, and identify manipulation before it occurs, or at least after, but with enough shame to avoid it in the future.
