Bias Breakers

our brains are making decisions constantly. should i eat this? is it safe to cross the street? is this the right thing to do? it's endless. this is why our brains have developed shortcuts, called cognitive biases, to help make decisions quickly based on little information. but making a quick decision is not always the same as making a good decision, especially when the stakes are high. these are the times when we need to step back, pay careful attention, and make a thoughtful decision based on a broad range data. at these times, making decisions based on cognitive biases can lead to costly mistakes, barriers to change, and poor teamwork. bias breakers increase awareness of cognitive bias in decision making. they make it easy to understand what cognitive biases affect our decision making and how we can recognize them. bias breakers then provide actions that can be taken to lessen the impact of cognitive biases once you have recognized them. it's not possible to eliminate cognitive bias
