The Myth of Experience: Why We Learn the Wrong Lessons, and Ways to Correct Them Free Audiobook Download by Emre Soyer,Robin M Hogarth

Often, our experiences teach us the wrong lessons. We learn them so often that we only see them as truths when they're wrong, and sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between what someone really believes, and what they think is true because of how much they've been told. Emre Soyer looks at three examples of how experience can lead to bad lessons: a child who breaks a vase to show he doesn't need it, a group of people who do more harm than good by removing a tree for shade claiming that the shade disappeared when it actually got replaced with another tree.

Human beings have a difficult time understanding and dealing with changing information. We process new information based on the experiences of those before us. This is why we are so often wrong about learning in our lives. In "The Myth of Experience", authors Emre Soyer, Robin M Hogarth discuss how evolution has taught us to believe that knowledge and wisdom stem from experience, but in reality it is an incomplete view of life."

The author of this book argues that we believe we learn from experience when actually we are learning from other people's experiences. We often take what has already happened and make it apply to our current situation when it may not be the best idea. Hogarth claims that the most important thing is to build your own experiences, so you can come away with a better understanding of the material at hand.

People tend to learn the wrong lessons from their experiences. They might see a situation that they didn't handle well in the past, and decide not to repeat it. This is because of a misconception called "the myth of experience." The idea behind this theory is that one can only learn about an idea or skill by practicing it. But social psychologists Michelle Niednagel and Michael J. Bernstein argue that people often feed into the myth of experience because they don't realize how much feedback they receive after each experience. Some people also overestimate how much feedback they've received, which makes them feel more confident in their abilities than they should be.

Why does knowing the history of an idea make it less likely to be found in the present? Some people believe that there is a link between our past experiences and the thoughts and actions we take in the present. The Myth of Experience: Why We Learn the Wrong Lessons, and Ways to Correct Them by Emre Soyer Robin M Hogarth audiobook download takes a look at this idea and how it has been linked to what we learn as children. Soyer believes that we learn wrong lessons because we don't acknowledge that our past experiences are nothing like our future ones. How can you ensure that you're learning right things if you're not acknowledging your mistakes?

In Emre Soyer's book, the author claims that we learn the wrong lessons about life because of our limited experiences. These are lessons such as "you need to work hard" or "you should always do what your parents want." However, the author believes that there is a much simpler solution to learning new and better lessons- take in information from different sources.
