Description
If everyone agrees with you, you are in an echo chamber. The echo chamber effect and how to escape it. You are trapped in a bubble of your own beliefs, and it is making you dumber. Algorithms feed you content you agree with. Friends share opinions you already hold. You mistake confirmation for truth.This book exposes selective exposure-the bias where we seek information that confirms our beliefs and avoid information that challenges them. It feels like learning. It is actually mental atrophy. We become more confident and less accurate.We analyze how to break free. Deliberately consume dissenting views. Seek disconfirming evidence. Follow people who disagree with you. The most dangerous position is not being wrong. It is being certain. Learn to say "I don't know." Embrace intellectual humility. Your bubble is comfortable. Escape it anyway.
