The Tuttle Twins Guide to Beware Your Bias

by Connor Boyack

We all have them. And we know everyone else does, too. But we avoid thinking about them, even though they affect our thinking deeply. What are they?

They are cognitive biases, and they lead our mind to do things that might not be in our best interest. We are all prone to being affected by them, yet hardly anyone takes the time to learn about them—and how to make sure they don’t have as great an impact on us.

That’s where this guidebook comes in, helping teens and adults learn about each bias so that we can make a concerted effort to not fall prey to their powers. Armed with this information, we can think more clearly, better understand ourselves and others, and make good decisions to benefit our lives.

This is powerful information precisely because so few people seek it. Those who read this book will have an advantage over others who are mentally manipulated without knowing it.

Reviews

[Kara Lawson · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Tuttle Twins Guide to Beware your Bias is a great read for ages 12+! Each of the 23 chapters introduces a bias with an illustration and a comic, and then a simple but thorough explanation of the bias. Next, is a short story example explaining how we might come across the bias in everyday life. Each chapter concludes with a breakdown of what happened in the story and final takeaways. I would say it’s geared toward 7-9th graders but it’s a quick-easy-to-understand book for high school through adult. I’ve added this to my 8th & 9th grader’s summer reading list.

This would be a good book to read devotional-style with your our kids. It teaches about our biases and how to overcome them.

Great book even for adults. Many of these Biases are ones we don't even think about.
