How does our mind play with us?

Although people are characterized by rational and conscious thinking, our mind can play with us in many ways. These are five ways in which our mind plays with us, making us do things that we might not want and that we are not aware of.

Illusion of control

People tend to overestimate their ability to control what happens around them. Just like when, for example, a fan of a sports club thinks that his thoughts or activities (shouting at TV...) will have some effect on the course of the game.

Ostrich effect

The decision to ignore dangerous or negative information by putting, for example, a pillow over the head, like an ostrich who sticks his head in the sand.

Influence of heuristics

The way you feel, you interpret the world. For example, you are passing by a building and you sense a smell. A person who is walking with you will say that she feels the smell of food if she's hungry, and to you it will smell completely different.

Inductive resistance
