Building on the foundational instincts, this series explores the more subtle but equally powerful traps that affect our analysis and decision-making. We unpack the instincts that cause us to misjudge proportions, over-generalize, seek simple scapegoats, and rush into panicked action. This collection provides the advanced toolkit for moving beyond flawed perceptions to a more nuanced, systemic, and calm approach to understanding and improving the world.
