• Identify cognitive biases and raise your "rationality quotient"
• Recognise and regulate emotions that cloud judgment
• Fine-tune intuition so it complements evidence rather than misleads
• Navigate ambiguity and uncertainty with practical mental habits
• Think flexibly about seemingly intractable problems
