【Are your daily decisions being unconsciously hijacked?】

In this episode, we dive into the groundbreaking book 《Cognitive Psychology》 by Ulric Neisser, the father of cognitive psychology. This isn't just about understanding the human mind—it's about uncovering the invisible forces shaping your thoughts, memories, and behaviors every single day.  

Key takeaways you'll get:  

1. The Mechanics of Memory: Why do we remember some things vividly and forget others entirely? Explore the concept of "flashbulb memories" and how our recall isn't as accurate as we think.  

2. Attention Isn't Endless: How selective attention filters the world around you and why you might be missing the most important details every day.  

3. The Power of Mental Representations: Learn how the mind creates and organizes information, and how this impacts problem-solving and creativity in ways you never imagined.  

What You'll Gain: If you've ever wondered why you procrastinate, misremember past events, or struggle to focus, 《Cognitive Psychology》 provides research-backed insights and practical mental models to reshape your understanding of how your brain works—and how you can work with it.
