Think Clearer. Decide Better. Every Time.
A rigorous, step-by-step system that trains you to spot cognitive biases in real time, apply proven decision frameworks, and build the kind of judgment that holds up under pressure—at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
"Good judgment isn't a personality trait—it's a practice, and every tool you need to build it is teachable."— Dr. J Raymond ABK
What you'll learn
What you'll be able to do
- Identify and name more than 20 cognitive biases—including confirmation bias, sunk-cost fallacy, and availability heuristic—as they arise in real situations.
- Apply structured decision frameworks (pre-mortem analysis, decision matrices, and first-principles reasoning) to high-stakes choices at work and in life.
- Construct sound arguments and spot logical fallacies in written, spoken, and online content.
- Break complex problems into tractable components using systematic decomposition techniques.
- Design personal decision logs and review rituals that surface past errors and sharpen future judgment.
- Facilitate clearer group decisions by managing groupthink, anchoring effects, and polarisation in team settings.

How Your Brain Really Makes Decisions
Establishes the cognitive foundation for the entire course. Learners discover how automatic and deliberate thinking systems interact, survey the full landscape of cognitive biases, and begin catching those biases in their own daily reasoning — creating the self-awareness prerequisite for every module that follows.
- 1.1System 1 vs. System 2 ThinkingIncluded
- 1.2The Bias Landscape: A Field GuideIncluded
- 1.3Catching Biases in the WildIncluded
Logic, Arguments, and Fallacies
Builds the analytical grammar needed to construct and evaluate reasoning. Learners learn what makes an argument valid and sound, catalogue the most common logical fallacies, and develop a disciplined approach to weighing evidence and sources — skills that underpin every decision framework in Module 3.
- 2.1The Anatomy of a Sound ArgumentIncluded
- 2.2Logical Fallacies in the Real WorldIncluded
- 2.3Evaluating Evidence and SourcesIncluded
Structured Decision Frameworks
Equips learners with the core toolkit of structured decision-making methods. Building on bias awareness (Module 1) and sound reasoning (Module 2), learners apply first-principles thinking, decision matrices, and pre-mortem analysis to real high-stakes scenarios, then develop judgment about which framework fits which situation.
- 3.1First-Principles ReasoningIncluded
- 3.2Decision Matrices and Weighted CriteriaIncluded
- 3.3Pre-Mortem AnalysisIncluded
- 3.4Choosing the Right Framework for the SituationIncluded
Breaking Down Complex Problems
Develops systematic problem decomposition skills. Learners move from feeling overwhelmed by complexity to structuring any problem into manageable, tractable components — using issue trees, MECE logic, Fermi estimation, and root cause analysis — all of which feed into better-quality inputs for the decision frameworks in Module 3.
- 4.1Issue Trees and MECE ThinkingIncluded
- 4.2Fermi Estimation and Quantifying UncertaintyIncluded
- 4.3Root Cause Analysis vs. Symptom TreatmentIncluded
Building a Personal Decision System
Translates course skills into a durable personal practice. Learners design a decision log, establish a regular review ritual, and develop calibration habits that surface past errors and compound judgment over time — closing the feedback loop that makes all prior learning stick.
- 5.1Designing Your Decision LogIncluded
- 5.2The Monthly Decision Review RitualIncluded
- 5.3Calibration: Knowing How Much You KnowIncluded
Smarter Group Decisions
Applies and extends all prior skills to team and social contexts. Learners understand the specific cognitive and social dynamics that distort group decisions — groupthink, anchoring, polarisation — and acquire practical facilitation techniques to surface diverse views, manage conflict, and reach clearer collective outcomes.
- 6.1Groupthink, Anchoring, and Social Pressure in TeamsIncluded
- 6.2Facilitation Techniques for Clearer Group DecisionsIncluded
- 6.3Managing Polarisation and Conflict in High-Stakes DiscussionsIncluded
Who it's for
Is this you?
The Overwhelmed Manager
You make a dozen judgment calls a day and need structured frameworks—pre-mortems, decision matrices—to lead your team with more confidence and less second-guessing.
The Ambitious Professional
You're advancing fast and the stakes are rising; you want a rigorous mental toolkit so your career decisions are driven by clear reasoning, not whoever argued loudest in the room.
The Lifelong Learner
You read widely and think hard, and you're ready to move beyond awareness of biases to actually building a personal system that sharpens your judgment over time.
The Strategy Consultant
You break down complex client problems for a living and want sharper tools—issue trees, MECE decomposition, root cause analysis—to make your thinking faster and more defensible.
The Sceptical News Consumer
You're tired of being manipulated by bad arguments and misleading evidence, and you want the logical vocabulary to identify fallacies and evaluate sources with precision.
The Team Facilitator
You run meetings where groupthink and anchoring quietly derail good decisions, and you need practical facilitation techniques to guide your team to the right answer, not the easiest one.

A note from your teacher
Dr. J Raymond ABK
If you're reading this, there's a good chance you've made a decision you were confident in—and later couldn't quite explain how you got it so wrong. Maybe you held onto a project too long because of everything already invested in it. Maybe you hired someone who interviewed brilliantly but whose reference checks, in retrospect, told a different story. Maybe a team you were part of reached a consensus that, looking back, was more about social comfort than sound reasoning.
You're not alone, and more importantly: you're not broken. These aren't character flaws. They're the predictable outputs of a brain that evolved for a very different world—one where fast, pattern-matching intuition kept you alive and slow, careful analysis was a luxury. The trouble is that modern decisions—career moves, investments, hiring calls, product bets, health choices—demand exactly the kind of deliberate reasoning our System 1 minds are least equipped to deliver on autopilot.
That gap between the quality of thinking we assume we're doing and the quality we're actually doing is what Clear Mind Decisions is designed to close. I built this curriculum because I kept seeing the same patterns in myself and in the people around me: smart, capable individuals consistently undermined by invisible biases and the absence of any structured approach to their most consequential choices. The solution isn't to become a cold, calculating machine—it's to build a set of reliable tools that you reach for deliberately, the same way a skilled architect reaches for the right instrument at the right stage of a project.
What I want for you by the end of this course is something specific and concrete: a named framework for every kind of high-stakes decision you face, the ability to hear a fallacious argument and put your finger on exactly what's wrong with it, and a personal decision system that gets better every month because it learns from your own history. That's not a vague aspiration—it's a set of skills this curriculum is built, module by module, to deliver.
If you're ready to take your thinking seriously, I'm glad you're here. Let's get to work.
