#281 Outsmart Your Brain with Cognitive ...

Michael Lavers
About this episode

I'm so excited for this topic, because today we're looking at Cognitive Biases.

This is how our brains can trick us into certain beliefs and behaviours. Learn about things like the Sunk Cost Fallacy, Loss Aversion,  Confirmation Bias, and more!

We'll be talking about examples of how these things can affect our views and beliefs, as well as how you can use these to become better English learners.

Share your views and comments on the show notes page below! If I get good feedback, I'd love to make a Part 2 in the future.
