Emotional biases

Emotional biases are distortions in our thinking that arise from our feelings rather than objective facts. When we make decisions or judgments, our emotions can cloud our reasoning, leading us to favor certain outcomes or ideas that resonate with us emotionally. For example, if we feel strongly about a topic, we might ignore evidence that contradicts our beliefs. This can result in skewed perceptions and choices, affecting everything from personal relationships to investment decisions. Being aware of these biases helps us strive for more balanced and rational thinking.
