Decision
Cognitive Biases and the Barriers to Rational Choices
Decision-making is not just a logical process—it’s a complex mechanism influenced by cognitive biases, past experiences, and instinctive protective responses activated by the brain.
You may believe you’re choosing freely—but are you really choosing consciously?
In ASK4Decision, you’ll explore how the human brain works in the decision-making process and why cognitive biases aren’t a flaw but a natural result of our evolution.
You’ll understand how our tendency to protect ourselves from the unknown leads us to make choices based on assumptions rather than facts—and how to become more aware of your own limitations.
You’ll learn how to avoid the “I must” trap by realizing that every action is a choice, and each decision carries a perceived cost—choosing one thing often feels like sacrificing others.
We’ll explore why it’s difficult to abandon a decision even when we know it was wrong, and how to escape the mental traps of decision paralysis.
How will you see this decision years from now? What impact will it have in the future?
We’ll look at how to make decisions under pressure, the consequences of delaying decisions, and how to train your mind to make clearer, more strategic, and goal-aligned choices.
Make decisions by understanding what’s really driving them.
