| Sommario/riassunto: | Making decisions can be tough, but how do you know it's the right one and how can you be sure that unconscious biases aren't distorting your thinking? In Risky Business , Anna Withers and Mark Withers draw on decades of research in the fields of psychology, behavioral economics and neuroscience to explain why are so-called rational brains are frequently fooled by over 100 powerful unconscious biases. At the same time they provide a straightforward framework everyone can use, where these biases are embodied into eight memorable characters that help us to avoid these pitfalls and make better decisions. |
