Deep dives

The Dangers of All or Nothing Thinking

All or nothing thinking is a common cognitive bias where individuals view situations in extreme black-and-white terms, without any gray areas. This kind of thinking can be detrimental to success and progress, whether it's in business or personal relationships. It often leads to confirmation bias, where individuals seek evidence to support their biased thinking. In business, all or nothing thinking is often demonstrated by the extreme thoughts of 'it's working' or 'it's not working.' However, embracing a more nuanced approach is crucial to overcoming this cognitive bias and making positive changes.
