Our brains are wired for personal bias and tribalism, and we tend to view the world through this distorted filter — embracing the ideas that support our current worldview and shooting down those that challenge it. Fortunately, there are emotional skills and habits we can adopt to break out of these deeply ingrained thought patterns and work to view the world as it truly is (rather than as we wish for it to be). The discussion addresses some of the ways our brains are wired to deceive us — and the habits we can form to overcome these tendencies and see the world more clearly.
