The Five Cognitive Distortions of People Who Get Stuff Done in Silicon Valley
MICHAEL Dearing has created The Five Cognitive Distortions of People Who Get Stuff Done in Silicon Valley.They are:
Some common patterns of automatic thought among those who get a lot of stuff done / create tons of value
• Strong patterns of automatic thoughts = cognitive distortions
• Cognitive distortions are filters or lenses that influence thinking, shape interpretation of reality, basis for action
• The Big Five
o Personal exceptionalism
o Dichotomous thinking
o Correct overgeneralization
o Blank canvas thinking
o Schumpeterianism
Dearing defines the headline conditions fuller, but they can be distilled:
o Personal exceptionalism – I am the best
o Dichotomous thinking – it’s all black and white
o Correct overgeneralization – quick to make the right snap judgement
o Blank canvas thinking – not paiting by numbers
o Schumpeterianism – smash it up and start again
