Number 1 - How hidden Biases Control your decisions
Have you ever made a decision and later wondered, ‘What was I thinking? The truth is, your thoughts weren’t entirely your own. Every day, we fall into cognitive mind traps—mental shortcuts or biases—that shape how we think, act, and decide without us even realizing it.
Today, I’m going to uncover 10 of these traps that secretly control your decisions. Once you know them, you can take back control.
1. The Anchoring Effect
"Imagine you’re shopping for a car. The salesperson shows you a model for 50,000,000Naira, then another for 30,000,000Naira.
Suddenly, 30,000,000Naira seems like a bargain. This is the Anchoring Effect - our tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information we receive. The anchor skews everything that follows."
