The Anchoring Effect- Soft spoken sleepy learning
from The Midnight Encyclopedia: Stories for Sleep · host The Midnight Encyclopedia
Why do we fall for "sale" prices that aren’t actually deals? Why does the first number you hear in a negotiation dictate where you end up? Welcome to the anchoring effect—the cognitive bias that quietly pulls the strings behind your financial, professional, and everyday decisions. In this episode, we break down how your brain gets hooked on the first piece of information it receives, why smart people fall for it every day, and the actionable tricks you can use to flip the anchor in your favor.
