The Misconception VS The Truth

From book - You are not so smart - David McRaney        

The Misconception : You are a rational, logical being who sees the world as it really is. The Truth : You are as deluded as rest of us, but that's ok, it keeps you sane.

The Misconception : You know when you are being influenced and how it is affecting your behavior. The Truth: You are unaware of constant nudging you receive from ideas formed in your conscious mind

The Misconception :You know when you are lying to yourself. The Truth : You are often ignorant of your motivations and create fiction narratives to explain your decisions, emotions, and history without realizing it.

The Misconception : Your opinions are the result of years of rational, objective analysis. The Truth: Your opinions are the results of years of paying attention to information that confirmed what you believed, while ignoring information that challenged your preconceived notions.
