7 Stupid Thinking Errors You Probably Make [1] – A popular article I did for lifehack, as part of my new favorite subject of cognitive biases and heuristics.

5 Signs You Are On Autopilot [2] – Peter sent me this article and I’m glad I read it. I particularly like his comment about leaving school and deciding you don’t want to come back.
