Let’s start with #4

4. AVAILABILITY BIAS
![Page 9: How to not suck at making good decisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ce880f1a28ab210a8b6fe7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
4. Availability Bias/Heuristic: “Overestimating the importance of info”The tendency to make decisions based on recent information and events, that were observed personally, or that were more memorable (memorable events tend to be more magnified and are likely to cause an emotional reaction).
“Our thinking is strongly influenced by what is personally most relevant, recent or dramatic.
Simply put – we remember the PAIN.”

Avoid this bias by…
routinely asking for feedback from
others before making a decision.

3. ANCHORING BIAS
![Page 14: How to not suck at making good decisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ce880f1a28ab210a8b6fe7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Anchoring Bias: “Being over-reliant on the 1st piece of info”The tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information offered (the “anchor”) when making decisions; also known as focalism.
![Page 15: How to not suck at making good decisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ce880f1a28ab210a8b6fe7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Avoid this bias by…
verifying facts you’re given.

Now for #2 …

2. OVERCONFIDENCE BIAS
![Page 20: How to not suck at making good decisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ce880f1a28ab210a8b6fe7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2. Overconfidence Bias: “Being too confident in our abilities”This happens when you place too much faith in your knowledge and opinions (sometimes due to complacency). Occurs when a person's subjective confidence in his or her judgements is greater than the objective accuracy of those judgements, especially when confidence is relatively high.
“Decision makers can overestimate their own abilities to do a task. If you’re overconfident and don’t perform, you will let down your team or your company.
Interestingly, some say this is a good bias.”
![Page 21: How to not suck at making good decisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ce880f1a28ab210a8b6fe7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Avoid this bias by…
slowing down your decision and asking for feedback from
other people in your team.

1. CONFIRMATION BIAS
![Page 27: How to not suck at making good decisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ce880f1a28ab210a8b6fe7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1. Confirmation Bias: “Accepting info that only confirms your preconceptions”
The tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories. In other words, cherry picking information to support your claims, belief or expectations.
“This bias is often used when you’re in a debate and you need facts to support your desired outcome.
The problem comes when disconfirming evidence surprises and weakens your position.”

“Think of the measurements as lottery tickets. Each one has a small chance of paying off in the form of a “significant” result that we can spin a story around and sell to the media. The more tickets you buy, the more likely you are to win.
We didn’t know exactly what would pan out — the headline could have been that chocolate improves sleep or lowers blood pressure — but we knew our chances of getting at least one “statistically significant” result were pretty good.”
The immediately preceding statement is false and was told to mislead. (Urban Dictionary)
