Cognitive Biases

List of cognitive biases : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

I came across the list while reading the chapter “The Math of Success” from the book “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big”.

“And I would go as far as to say that anything on the list that you don’t understand might cost you money in the future.”

(p. 116)

Each time I read about an item on the list, I’ll add a note below to mark my progress.
