Show Notes
The Halo Effect makes us judge people, brands, and ideas based on first impressions. A single positive trait can overshadow flaws, shaping our decisions unconsciously. In this episode, we explore its psychological roots, real-world impact, and how to recognize and overcome this cognitive bias for clearer, more rational thinking.
