Trapped by Assumptions: How to Break Mental Traps and Keep Your Mind Sharp - Paperback

Do you find it difficult to see the big picture sometimes?

Can that lead to you making dangerous assumptions?

Do you want to be able to eliminate this from your decision making?

We all make assumptions, usually based on incomplete evidence of something, and often without realizing we are doing so. This can mean we can fall into mental traps which can have all sorts of consequences.

In this book, Trapped by Assumptions: How to Break Mental Traps and Keep Your Mind Sharp, Dr Chong Chen examines why we make assumptions and how this can be avoided, with in-depth chapters on:

• Confirmation biases and how to avoid them
• The halo effect
• Sampling traps
• Human kindness, or thinking bias
• Be careful what you imagine
• The Planning Fallacy
• Looking at evidence objectively
• And more...

Once you begin to dissect many of the assumptions you have been led to believe are true, then you start to understand that many are false and baseless. And this is vitally important for keeping away from assumptions that can damage us.

It's time to break away from the beliefs that have been passed off as fact all your life and Trapped by Assumptions is the book that can set you free
