Your brain is not as logical as you may imagine it to be. According to psychologists, our brains have a tendency to make certain mistakes when thinking and these can make us think in illogical ways. Such “brain mistakes” can happen in anyone, and can make us make wrong decisions in our daily lives. The free website at the link below describes common types of brain mistakes. This will help you to recognise and correct such mistakes when they happen in your brain. The website is completely free.
