We constantly make decisions throughout our lives, from the routine to the life-altering. Surprisingly, a significant portion of these decisions are made subconsciously. Our brains, efficient at handling vast amounts of information quickly, often resort to shortcuts or patterns based on past experiences. These are what we term as "mental models." Gaining insight into these mental models is indeed a liberating experience.
Each one of us is influenced by biases. These biases, influenced by our life experiences, culture, upbringing, and numerous other factors, often operate silently in the backdrop of our minds. They can sway our judgment, sometimes leading us off course from our best interests or an objective viewpoint. A deeper understanding of our mental models offers us a lens to recognize and mitigate these biases, thereby refining our decision-making processes.
