8 Biases That Cripple Smart Decision-Making A bias is any inclination toward a particular belief or perspective, often one that is ill-supported by reason or evidence. When we call another person “biased” we usually mean that they are incapable of looking objectively at the facts. They are too stuck in their own world view, with their own prejudices, and usually unwilling have an open mind about certain issues. Psychologists claim that many of our biases are evolved mental processes which at one point may have been adaptive to our environment. Although this process isn’t perfect, it often gets the job done in terms of survival and reproduction. Bias Blind Spot The bias blind spot is our tendency to think we are less biased than others. Solution: Try to be more modest in estimating your own intelligence and admit that you are subject to biases like everyone else. Confirmation Bias Another bias many of us face is we tend to favor information that supports our preconceptions. The Framing Effect A) Save 200 people’s lives. Halo Effect

Minimalist posters explain complex philosophical concepts with basic shapes Even if we define "feeling better" as a benefit, it does not logically follow that just because one receives this benefit as a consequence of performing a good act, that they performed it in order to obtain that benefit, and not primarily to benefit someone else. (And even if "feeling better" was a benefit to the person making this sacrifice, it's not a benefit he or she would he able to enjoy for very long, since they will be dead.) Your argument, therefore, assumes a premise that needs to be proved: that people only do good (or anything at all) for their own satisfaction. If that premise is not proved, you end up with a circular argument. avoiding guilt is another powerful motivator which in the end is in ones self interest. So even if feeling better isn't the goal of the action the guilt of inaction can spur one into action. Avoiding guilt can spur one to action. "Altruism has never been seen in humans." "Any self-sacrifice for the greater good has come at the cost of one's ego."
This Neuroscientist Proves Well-Being Can Change the Brain Click the image above to get a full preview of Davidson’s research. Even Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, refers to Richie Davidson as the “scientist savant.” The description is apt. “Being distracted exacts a cost on our well-being,” Davidson tells Shriver. The infographic is from August issue of Mindful magazine. The Seven Pillars of the Matrix Robert Bonomo, ContributorWaking Times “No one is more of a slave than he who thinks himself free without being so.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Contemporary baptized, corporatized and sanitized man rarely has the occasion to question his identity, and when he does a typical response might be, “I am product manager for a large retail chain, married to Betty, father of Johnny, a Democrat, Steelers fan and a Lutheran.” His answers imply not only his beliefs but the many responsibilities, rules and restrictions he is subjected to. Few if any of these were ever negotiated- they were imposed on him yet he still considers himself free. But is free the right adjective for him, or would modern domesticated simian be more apt? DELUSION DWELLERS, Laurie Lipton, 2010 Plato described this brilliantly in his Allegory of the Cave, where people only see man made shadows of objects, institutions, Gods and ideas: “–Behold!

Journalists, Online PR & Link Building “Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” Jonathan Swift Opportunities for great free publicity and inbound links are all around us. They arise every day from a host of newspapers, magazines, blogs and online news sites… but we just don’t see them. Often we don’t see them because we don’t look. Our brains work on autopilot most of the time. But once you start to look for something, you see it everywhere. Several years ago, I was featured in the New York Times – and the feature gave a live link to my site. Afterwards, I wondered how many other small businesses had been featured in the New York Times and whether they too had a link to their site. I started looking for other examples of how link building and online public relations could work together. In this article, I’d like to outline 10 reasons why a journalist would write about your website, and I want to give you real examples that will inspire you to try the same. An important online PR tip 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
