    Cognitive biases are little tricks that our mind automatically plays on us. They are clever shortcuts that help us get through the day with the limited mental resources we have, but sometimes they can leave us in sticky situations. Functional fixedness is a cognitive bias that limits our flexible thinking and can therefore make problem solving a challenge. In this video I explain more about the cognitive bias with some examples, and suggest five ways to combat it.

    The missing side of the coin is that we have functional fixedness for a reason. It helps us chunk up and understand the world rather than get overwhelmed by possibilities every time we open the fridge. I think therefore Daniel Kahneman's work on system 1 and system 2 thinking is far more relevant than the mindset gubbins (which only really works under specific situations defined by Carol Dweck)
