"The representativeness heuristic causes systematic errors in judgment."

"Lazy thinking is behind many of our mistakes."

"Our brains are not equipped to deal with large numbers and probabilities well."

"We see correlations and assume causation far too readily."

"The illusion of validity persists even when we know better."

"Storytelling is seductive because it simplifies complexity."

"We are pattern-matching machines that make errors predictably."

"The question you ask determines the answer you get."

"Intensity of experience is not the same as duration of happiness."

"Discomfort with uncertainty is one of the most fundamental human drives."

"We construct our identity through narratives and stories."

"People are much more likely to believe a statement if they have repeated it several times."

"The focusing effect causes us to overweight the importance of specific attributes."

"Mood affects judgment and decision-making in profound ways."

"We have a remarkable ability to ignore information that doesn't fit our worldview."

"Attention is a precious resource that determines what we see and learn."

"The mere exposure effect makes us like things simply because they're familiar."

"Goals set emotionally are more likely to be achieved."

"The contrast effect causes us to judge things relative to other things we've seen."

"Bad events have more psychological impact than good events."

"We are all overconfident about what we understand about the world."

"Routine is a source of comfort and stability in uncertain times."

"The illusion of explanatory depth is why we think we understand more than we do."

"Disagreements usually result from differences in how people see the world, not logic."
