Overview

This is a fast, practical manual for clear thinking when it matters most. Instead of theory-heavy lectures on the mind, it gives you a compact playbook for spotting and fixing cognitive distortions in real time-those quick, patterned thinking errors that feel like safety and end up costing you accuracy, influence, and peace. You'll learn to recognise the ten most expensive traps: all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, emotional reasoning, overgeneralization, mind reading error, the mental filter that deletes wins and magnifies flaws, rigid ""shoulds,"" the control fallacy, global labeling, and premature fortune-telling. Each chapter follows the same, usable spine: the trap, the tell, and the tool. You'll get sentence stems, micro-checklists, and two-minute moves that reduce decision-making bias under pressure-at work, at home, and in the moments when anxiety tries to drive. Short case vignettes make the patterns obvious; evidence-backed exercises make the fixes stick. Whether you lead teams, negotiate, analyse, create, or simply want fewer unforced errors, this book helps you upgrade your default settings. Expect cleaner decisions, steadier relationships, and a calmer inner narrator-without detoxes, hacks, or grand declarations. If you've ever felt your mind sprint ahead of the facts, this is your pocket guide to slowing the jump, widening the lens, and choosing the next intelligent move.
