6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

The Art of Thinking Clearly

  1. IDEA 1

    Survivorship bias

    We see successful people and overestimate our chances. The many who failed are invisible. Look for the full picture.

  2. IDEA 2

    Confirmation bias

    We look for information that supports our beliefs. Actively seek out evidence that would prove you wrong.

  3. IDEA 3

    Social proof

    We assume what others do is right. Crowds can be wrong, especially in markets and fashions.
