Parking Spot is Taken

Parking Spot is Taken

You have an appointment with a doctor in a crowded neighborhood.
You and your wife have just reached the location and also found a suitable place for parking. Another car is moving out from the parking lot and you wait to take the space.
While you wait, suddenly a car comes out of nowhere and parks in the just vacated space. You are angry. You notice that two heavy looking persons are in the car and preparing to come out.
Finding a second spot will take time and you will miss the doctor appointment. What do you do?

The mistakes we make in our everyday life

We human beings engage in thinking and decision making in our daily life. It is our ability to solve problems and choose the best course of action, which leads to better outcomes. But we also make systematic errors when we think and at times we don’t even realize. We fail to think clearly because of our emotions such as anger or fear and this leads to wrong decision making as well as avoidable harm.

These systematic errors are known as biases. We can learn, understand to notice these biases within us and around us. Once we know, then we can also take action to avoid these biases, prejudices and beliefs and act to avoid the harm. Biases are systematic and predictable errors we make.
