Episode Two: Balance or Bias (Part 1 of 3 in our Bias Series)

In today's episode, I talk about what bias is. There's plenty of forms of bias out there, and being aware of how bias can creep in is essential to challenging it and overcoming it the best we can in our thought process. For what it's worth, I mention the following biases in today's episode (thought there are plenty more -- just search for them online and you'll find plenty):  Confirmation Bias, Availability Heuristic, Dunning-Kruger Effect, Actor-Observer Bias, Halo Effect, Anchoring Bias, and False Consensus Bias.  Bias affects all of us in different ways, and to different degrees, but to be sure, we've all got some somewhere. Today's episode is dedicated to simply exploring some various appearances of bias so that we can address it properly. In this episode, I quote Brett McCracken from his recent book "The Wisdom Pyramid." Pick it up; it's awesome. He also wrote some other good books. Check 'em out!
