“Even though it looks like other people are better prepared, God has gifted this to you. He is with you and you have an amazing opportunity. Don't miss it because you're concerned about how you might not be prepared or that you feel like you're in over your head. Just take what you can from that situation and appreciate it.” — Erin Devers Social psychologist and professor Erin Devers joins us on the podcast to discuss ways to identify our hidden biases and pursue accuracy instead. What is cognitive bias, and how does it affect our work, relationships, and spiritual lives? Author and social psychologist Erin Devers joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book The Unbiased Self: The Psychology of Overcoming Cognitive Bias. Erin explains exactly what cognitive bias is and how it affects every facet of our lives, even those of us who consider ourselves very self-aware. But instead of leaving us feeling hopeless to change, Erin suggests strategies for training our minds and altering our environments to help reframe our biases and overcome their negative effects. Erin's practical ideas can affect our presence in our families, workplaces, and communities, and we're left feeling a sense of empowerment to make small adjustments that yield big results.
