Beschrijving

Today’s episode explains two cognitive biases—the availability heuristic and anchoring bias—and how they make us overestimate past mistakes and ignore present improvements in our partners. Using everyday examples, it shows why we remember some events more easily and why first impressions can unfairly shape ongoing expectations. Practical tips include mentally tracking high points, challenging assumptions like "they always/never," and consciously acknowledging change so effort is noticed and relationships can grow.
