Why do we often choose inaction over action, even when it leads to poorer results? In this episode of Decision Dynamics, we dive into the fascinating phenomenon of omission bias—our tendency to judge harmful actions more harshly than harmful inactions, even when the consequences are the same or worse.

Through compelling experiments, real-life dilemmas, and psychological insights, we’ll explore why this bias exists and how it impacts decisions in areas like healthcare, parenting, and even moral judgment. More importantly, you’ll gain practical tips to recognize and overcome omission bias, empowering you to make more proactive and effective choices.

Join us as we uncover the hidden costs of "playing it safe" and learn how to embrace action when it matters most!
