Build self-awareness and recognise the mind traps we easily fall into every day.

We examine 9 different cognitive biases related to Ego and how we can spot them.

Learn:

• When our ego serves us or sabotages us
• Why we fall in love for the wrong reasons
• How our bias to perceive ambiguity as hostility almost triggered a Nuclear war

From panicking over getting some ketchup on our trousers to explosive road rage, cognitive biases can give us an answer.

Learning how to recognise our own biases can lead to a much calmer, kinder and more successful life.
