As you read this summary, you will discover that all individuals are led to make bad decisions because of irrational judgment. 


You will also discover :


  • the five families of cognitive biases that influence your decision making;
  • why these biases cannot be corrected;
  • how they can be controlled;
  • what are the tools to mitigate their effect.

  • You sometimes make decisions that are not always in your best interest: smoking, eating unbalanced food, not practicing sports... Without being aware of it, your actions are influenced by many cognitive biases. Obviously, these bad decisions also have repercussions at work. According to a study, 28% of managers believe that their company makes good strategic decisions. Rest assured, not all companies are run by incompetents. Only, in a context of failure, it is always more reassuring to find a culprit. How can we explain these behaviors and minimize them?
