Moreover, many of these smart people have made achievements in their respective fields and have a relatively high level of intelligence.
Awkward … So, what's the reason?
This book is to answer this question.
With in-depth research and incisive insights, this book was selected by JPMorgan Chase as a must-read for current thinking innovation and change.
The author points out in the book that people will become smart by mastering professional knowledge and accumulating various experiences, but at the same time, they are more prone to "confirmatory bias", entering the blind area of professional thinking and falling into different "intelligence traps".
Falling into the intelligence trap is not because the cognitive level is too low, but because of the side effects of the development of thinking ability.
As for how to avoid it, the book also gives specific methods, namely: making left and right cards, alienating yourself, designing and tightening the treasure chest.
After listening to the interpretation, my feelings are as follows:
1. Don't be too confident at any time.
Overconfidence is conceit, which leads to arrogance, and arrogance is not conducive to survival.
As the science fiction novel "Three-body" wrote: "Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is".
No one can know everything. Even with the blessing of the Internet, big data, cloud computing and other technologies, people will still have limitations in cognition and practice when facing a certain problem at a certain time. We should have a clear understanding of this and remain modest.
2. Create an efficient behavior pattern and constantly break it.
No matter what industry you are in or what job you are engaged in, everyone has his own specialty. Based on professional knowledge and experience, he has formed a stable behavior pattern and even entered an almost automatic operation state.
Naturally, it is conducive to the formation of a model and efficient operation.
But at the same time, we should also be alert to the inertia of thinking and avoid ignoring details and changing factors because of path dependence, and eventually going astray and drifting away.
Therefore, we must constantly break the original model and reshape the new model.
And this is inseparable from the diligence of consciously keeping thinking.
