A Guide to Clear Thinking (Read-Along)

About this episode

Dane Rivarola discusses self-serving bias and its impact on clear thinking while exploring vocabulary.

Here's an article I came across from that had a good lesson to teach. It's about self-serving bias, and how we protect ourselves and blame others when we feel like the idea we have of ourselves is challenged. As always, we'll mine it for vocabulary, so make sure you write down the words that catch your eye. Let me know what you think.
