Guide of the Truth Seeker: A Scientific Approach

We make decisions every day — some of them are trivial, like what to eat for breakfast, what movie to watch in the evening, while others depend on our future, health, finances, career, and relationships. Whether to move to another city, where to apply for school, who to tie our lives to, start a family, how to behave in a difficult conflict situation.
At the moment of making decisions, consciousness begins to set up so-called «thinking traps» that affect our perception of reality and are characteristic of many people. In psychology, this is called cognitive biases: when we draw conclusions based on previously formed beliefs, acting automatically, without analyzing the situation as a whole. Simply put, we do not notice how we think in patterns, believe in stereotypes, and develop certain behavior patterns.
According to behavioral scientist, coach, and crisis manager Gleb Tsipursky, such irrational thinking in everyday life deprives us of money, time, close relationships, health, and happiness. In a professional context, it leads to companies losing revenue and reputation, undermining work ethics and team spirit.
To avoid making poor decisions and missing out on the best opportunities in your life, the author suggests using behavioral strategies described in the book. You will find recommendations, questions for reflection, real-life examples, and personal stories that you can relate to your own situation.
