“We use Core Beliefs to simplify our decision-making process. There are two broad methods in making a decision, either through:”
― Core Beliefs, Harnessing the Power

“The Rational Brain relates to our reasoning, conscious part of the brain. Our decisions here are slow, considered, rule-governed and controlled, and give a more complete understanding. We need to understand both these modes and their influence on judgements and choice, as they are the key to behavioural change.”

“Once we have reached a conclusion, we start justifying our conclusions about the individual. Consider meeting an obese and sweaty man for the first time. Many would typically think, ‘He is an individual with no self-control (to allow himself to become so fat)’ and then start looking for corroborating evidence of his lack of self-control. Rather than logically piecing together the evaluation to form a conclusion we use Core Beliefs to reach the conclusion and then collect data and justify our point of view. This process is called a self-justifying reframe of empirical data.”
