Rational and irrational
Emotions deeply affect us
Emotions dominate some more than others
Confirmation bias
Looking for validation of existing actions, beliefs, and events
Soothe the ego
Seeing what we want to see
Our moods often govern actions
Disconnected from reality
Thinking before reacting, the big pause button not a reset button; no resent if you don't do it
What is really happening versus what are we feeling
Random and chaos cannot exist, people need meaning and order; seeking order at all cost - lockstep mentality
Emotions cloud our vision
Thaler, Financial Behavioralism, Nobel Prize, We've known this for 40 years
Rational investors versus irrational investors
Never make a decision under the cloud of strong emotions
Deliberative process
Imagine and consider all possible consequences
Everyone thinks they are rational
Rationality is not a born trait, rather it is learned over time, acquired, and needs instruction, training, and practice
Think for yourself rather than reacting to what others give you
Emotions narrow the mind
A wide range of options exist, evaluate the strategie

Rational and irrational
Anger triggered by a prior, unrelated experience that, from an objective perspective, should not influence our current judgments or decisions can make us unreceptive to what others have to say. In related research, Scott Wiltermuth of the University of Southern California and Larissa Tiedens of Stanford University found that anger triggered by something unrelated to the decision at hand also affects how we evaluate others’ ideas. irrelevant emotions triggered by a completely unrelated event can take us off track. The next time you drink a bitter cup of coffee or have an argument with a loved one, pause to consider how your emotional reactions could linger as you enter into important task or weigh a complex decision.
