The 25 Cognitive Biases: Understanding Human Psychology, Decision Making & How To Not Fall Victim To Them

Very poorly written, obviously not edited, and the information is hardly insightful. The examples are comically bad... To be honest, I would be shocked if the author even bothered to ask a friend to skim through it.I will provide a passage to give curious Amazon Customers an example of what I mean:"Here's an exercise: the next time you see someone whom everyone seems to like on TV, ask yourself whether you like him or not - honestly and truthfully - and then you'll realize whether you actually like them or not." (Musashi, 2016, p. 21).

It’s natural for one to flown after being told she/he has a poor judgment. Poor judgment comes as a result of confusion and or distortions in the human mind. An act of deviation in judgment that brings about perceptual distortion in humans is called cognitive bias. Each one of us is affected by cognitive bias but the severity and the degree varies from one person to the other. Through experience, humans’ mental behaviors have developed resulting in cognitive biases which are prerequisite for faster decisions making. This book from Kai is a great tool to help the readers fight these biases and hopefully would lead them to a better decision making in life. I will surely read on this more often and would hope to see some positive changes in my life from it. This is a recommendable book.

It’s possibly written for the lower class/impoverished (which I came from) and get how it’s written. For anyone lower-middle class to above, it might look like a child’s book.

I liked this book. It made me put more thought into my everyday decisions. The 25 cognitive biases are named differently in this book. Probably because of copy right issues. It was still a good read.

It is a good book but really should have been a pamphlet. Enjoyed the message just not worth what you pay for it.

It really provides insight and I really liked it because it puts many things into how you view your life and each cahpeter is short enough to explain what each cognitive biases are.

The information was concise and uncluttered, making the reading and comprehension easier to remain in focus.Short, but very useful.

It was a great book, well detailed and there were good real life examples used all thru the book. I would suggest this book to others.

I find this book to be quite poorly written. There is no science to back up the example orExplanation.Some of the biases also seem a little strange to me and not applicable to every day life.

This discussed biased, but it is simplified if you are used to academic writingA good introduction

Waste of time and money buying this book. No references mande, simply "Research shows". Not good enough. Don't buy, unless you find it for 50p or less.

I found this to be very weak. The examples and descriptions given of cognitive biases are rather generic, and I finished reading this not thinking about what I'd read and did any of it apply to me, but had a feeling of 'so what?'.

Makes you aware of what biases you could have and others may have .Between you and the person you are dealing with I guess you would cove all and dont really think you have the time in your daily life to stop think and respond or be absolutely mindfull and aware all the time
