Editor’s Note:
I’ve been wanting to write an article about cognitive biases for a while. They’re important both because of how they can work against us, and because of how they can occasionally work in our favor. The logic of our subconscious mind is irrational in systematic and predictable ways, according to the research of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky.
By recognizing these biases, we can work to slow down, think through problems logically, and (partially) inoculate ourselves from their effects. Although most of the work on the effects of these cognitive biases exists in the realm of behavioral economics, they have large and obvious impacts on how we think about and implement many things in the realm of fitness.
