My thinking – on my own thinking…!!!
Since I chose to learn through the CT workshop, I was thinking that what will be the content of this workshop. However, after attending the first session the initial questions were answered related to the workshop.
Analyzing my own thinking style after the workshop, I was able to make a connection that confirmation bias is leading my thoughts. Nowadays according to my new role anyways I am confirming everything before I make any decision. In my professional life, I am dealing with this bias on a day to day basis. In personal life also I felt the same. For example, I used to ask my friend that how this newly released movie is? I also used to check ratings? Moreover, I used to see the trailer of the movie and add value to my own decision.
Hence, I came to a conclusion that “Confirmation Bias” is leading my thoughts and decision.

It was good one………….I do agree that we all may have confirmation bias in our day to day life but when we rely on one point of information like a friend only.
Agree with Manish sir and that’s what I re-learned today. Thank you.
Confirmation bias is looking for new evidence which confirms our beliefs, so you are being cautious before taking any decision.
