The Most Dangerous Cognitive Bias dives into why we’re all way more confident in our own smarts (and decisions) than is actually justified. Derek Muller and team unpack the real shape of the Dunning–Kruger effect, show how your brain uses mental shortcuts to pump up your ego, and explain why a dash of overconfidence can actually be good—until it spectacularly backfires (think Nick Leeson and the collapse of Barings Bank).
Along the way you’ll learn why honest feedback is your best defense, how to spot and correct your own overconfidence, and even get a sneak peek at a new tabletop game that helps you train humility in a fun way. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to stay sharp, stay humble, and keep your confidence in check.
