The Intelligence Trap: Revolutionise your Thinking and Make Wiser Decisions

Product Information

A combination of interoception (sensitivity to bodily signals), emotion differentiation (the capacity to label your feelings in precise detail) and emotion regulation that together help us to avoid cognitive and affective biases. The team concluded that they can’t separate our cognitive abilities from the social environment: all the time, our capacity to apply our brainpower will be influenced by our perceptions of those around us. Worse still, they appear to have a bigger ‘bias blind spot’, meaning they are less able to recognize the holes in their logic. The book also explores how incorporating these ideas into the educational system could provide for more positive outcomes. Many of his supporters are the opposite of this, I guess that makes them “polluted, benighted and asleep environmental vandals”.

Or that you did know, but that was when you were 15 and you only agreed to 'connect' with them on the basis that there won’t actually be all that much ‘connecting’?

After disappointing results in the Euro 2012 championships, the coach, Louis van Gaal, reassembled the team — reducing the percentage of ‘top talent’ from 73 percent to 43 percent. Emotions can also affect our thinking and it is important to be aware of our emotional state and how it may be influencing our decisions.Houdini had helped to teach Conan Doyle’s boys to dive, and the group were resting at the seafront when Conan Doyle decided to invite Houdini up to his hotel room for an impromptu séance, with Jean as the medium. If I asked you who you think would win a chess match between Magnus Carlson and Elon Musk, you’d probably select Mangus, the five-time chess champion. Among Republicans, however, the exact opposite is true: the more educated someone is, the less likely they are to accept the scientific evidence.

The Intelligence Trap may help us not only make better decisions about patients, but also in our personal lives.Even just one or two out of all team members can completely ruin the group dynamic and reduce the performance of the whole team, especially if they are all in the same team. It is targeted at those of us who feel we are particularly clever — and most of us believe we are above average, the statistics say.
