In The Art of Thinking Clearly, Rolf Dobelli breaks down the most common logical fallacies that plague humanity. Logical fallacies affect everyone, are extremely difficult to avoid, and can hinder our decision-making ability. Dobelli encourages readers to improve their decisions by learning how to recognize these fallacies and how to work around them.\u00a0 Humans experience different reasoning patterns, out of which many are a barrier to logical thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of these cognitive errors are common, which means that it is possible to identify them. Knowing what you have been and are dealing with means that you will be able to avoid similar mistakes in the future. What are these cognitive errors talked about?<\/span><\/p>\n

To start with, inspirational stories. We all love \u201crags to riches\u201d stories since they make us feel that everything is possible. But inspirational stories tend to make us think illogically since we immediately identify ourselves with those \u201cone in a million\u201d exceptions. But why do we get trapped into such thinking habits?\u00a0 Well, it is safe to say that most people discredit information that is not in line with their beliefs. The world is changing all the time, and most of the time we know less than what we think we know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Lessons from \u201cThe Art of Thinking Clearly\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0 \u00a0 Outcome Bias<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0 \u00a0 Loss Aversion and Fear of Regret<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0 \u00a0 Alternative Blindness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Outcome Bias<\/b><\/p>\n

    Outcome bias is the tendency to assess decisions based on the results they give. However, a bad result does not necessarily mean that a decision was bad. Every result is a sum of both decisions and external factors such as luck or timing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

    Loss Aversion and Fear of Regret<\/b><\/p>\n

    Gaining something will make you happy, but losing the same thing will make you much more distressed. It is a fact universally acknowledged that a negative emotion people suffer when facing a loss is stronger than the emotion they feel when they gain something of the same value.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Similar to loss, aversion is the fear of regret. Many people stay in their comfort zones because they are afraid that they will make a wrong decision, and be sorry for it. Both of these fears keep you where you are, and limit your progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Alternative Blindness<\/b><\/p>\n

    Whenever people think about an offer, they become blind to alternatives. However, to be able to make the right decision, you have to go out of your mental limits. Sometimes, having too many options is a problem as well, since a wide range of options makes people feel stuck and continuously question whether they are making the right choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This book is a must-read. We encourage you to get the complete book and read more about it. This book is sure to leave no stone unturned regarding the questions you might have.<\/span><\/p>\n
