Cognitive bias is a mental shortcut that influences our thinking and decision-making, leading us to process information in a selective and subjective manner, often resulting in inaccurate or irrational judgments 1. Cognitive biases can be caused by many things, such as heuristics (mental shortcuts), social pressures, and emotions.

Cognitive biases can affect our decision-making skills, limit our problem-solving abilities, hamper our career success, damage the reliability of our memories, challenge our ability to respond in crisis situations, increase anxiety and depression, and impair our relationships.
