Mind Traps: Why Our Brain Chooses Easy Answers Over Correct Ones and How to Fix It

The most candid book about how your brain quietly works against you!

Have you ever bought something “on sale,” only to later realize that without the discount you wouldn’t have even looked at it? Do you put off decisions for months and years that you could actually resolve in a single day? Time and time again, you repeat the same mistakes and can’t figure out why this happens?

It’s not a lack of willpower and it’s not a “bad character.” The culprit is cognitive traps—hidden malfunctions in thinking that kick in automatically, without warning. Because of them, we overpay, miss great opportunities, fall for manipulation, and yet we’re convinced we’re acting logically. But once you know exactly where these traps are set, it becomes much easier to avoid them. This book is a detailed guide to such traps, along with a set of practical techniques that will help you save money, time, and your nerves.

After listening to this audiobook, you will learn:
• how to regain control from the “autopilot” that makes up to 95% of decisions without your involvement;
• how to recognize real danger and separate it from inflated anxiety fueled by the news;
• how to stop reassuring yourself with “I knew it” and actually learn from your mistakes;
• how to get out of situations where you’re staying only because you fear losses;
• how to tell a real specialist from a self-confident amateur.

Stop paying for mistakes that don’t have to happen. Take control of your thinking!
