A Simple Way to Reduce Cognitive Bias - Facts So Romantic

Nautilus

Would you like to be more rational? Who doesn't want to behave and think more reasonably? Good news: New research, from Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer, suggests mindfulness, or at least an aspect of it, can help. By "mindfulness"--a feature of Buddhism for thousands of years, and a subject of scientific investigation for a few decades--most people mean a mental state you can be in. If you find yourself bringing past or possible future events into your imagination, let those drift off, and attend again to your present sensations, thoughts, and feelings. Being mindful for a few seconds is easy.
