It also conspires to ruin your life almost every time you encounter new information. You\u2019re lying to yourself, and you can\u2019t help it. All the cognitive habits, capabilities, and shortcuts your brain brings to the table also come with serious liabilities\u2026 like leading you down the wrong path on simple math depending on which numbers you see first. Anchoring bias is the perfect example. Work done by cognitive science researchers like Amos Tversky, Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, and Massimo Piatelli-Palmarini show us that you get a little bit of information and then your brain goes to work. Unfortunately, it almost always locks you into a mode of thought that\u2019s just\u2026 not quite right. You\u2019ll get the wrong estimates and numbers. You\u2019ll be barricaded into thinking a certain way when you really need to consider the scenario more broadly. And you\u2019ll probably be manipulated. Prices can be structured to take advantage of your biased first impressions. You can be influenced to value things incorrectly. You\u2019re a victim of your own mind and of those who recognize the ways to twist it. But there\u2019s a way out. Maybe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your mind is efficient and amazing. It also conspires to ruin your life almost every time you encounter new information.
