Welcome to another episode of Doing Well: The Well-Being Science Insights Podcast. Host Lu Ngo is joined by the renowned educator and TED speaker, Lisa Bu, to unravel a common mental habit we all fall victim to: the myside bias. As humans, we often perceive what we want to see rather than what truly exists, a tendency that can lead us astray and result in irrational decisions. Lisa, hailing from Hunan, China, has been a TED stalwart since 2011, boasting a rich background in talk show production and digital media direction from her days at Wisconsin Public Radio. But her expertise doesn't stop there; she is also a computer programmer with a Ph.D. in journalism and an MBA in information systems from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, coupled with a BA in Chinese from Nanjing University in China. In this episode, Lisa demystifies the concept of my-side bias, offering real-life examples that vividly illustrate its impact on our decision-making processes. Lu and Lisa explore potential solutions for overcoming this bias, delving into strategies like harnessing emotional intelligence and preventing cognitive dissonance. Join us today to gain valuable insights into busting those inner biases. Tune in for an engaging and insightful conversation that will challenge your thinking and provide practical tools to navigate the complexities of human perception and decision-making.
