List of Cognitive Biases
I was a big fan of cognitive psychology and biases and tried to read as much books as possible on the subject. Even had a mind-map on finished and TODO books (<a href="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/buybackoff/8746464/10862/10862_original.gif" rel="nofollow">https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/buybackoff/8746464/10862/108...</a> upper-right corner).<p>I think the best practical material on the subject is Charlie Munger talks. Particularly his talk "On the psychology of human misjudgement" (<a href="https://buffettmungerwisdom.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/mungerspeech_june_95.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://buffettmungerwisdom.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/mung...</a>) and "Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger", which is an edited collectoin of his many talks.<p>My main conclusion from reading all the books/talks is that you could only be aware of the existence of the biases, but cannot realize which one(s) is(are) at play now in your brain and cannot "fix" a bias with any cognitive effort. So "sleeping on"/delaying an important decision is the best practical way I have found to mitigate the always present pervasive biases.
