About RUKY Cognitive Bias Library

RUKY Cognitive Bias Library was created as a focused, research-based resource exploring the hidden patterns that influence human thinking. While thousands of websites discuss psychology broadly, very few provide structured, long-form explanations of specific cognitive biases. Our goal is to offer a clear, organized reference for anyone seeking to understand how everyday decisions are shaped by predictable mental shortcuts.

Cognitive biases are not flaws; they are adaptations. They help the brain conserve energy, make quick judgments, and filter overwhelming information. But these shortcuts come with side effects. They distort probabilities, create false certainty, and push people toward decisions that feel logical but are objectively irrational. This site exists to illuminate those patterns.

Each guide is crafted to explain where each bias comes from, why it exists, how it influences choices, and where it shows up in real-world scenarios—workplace decisions, relationships, investing, learning, and risk assessment.

We avoid shallow summaries. Instead, we provide context-rich explanations that remain accessible to readers of all backgrounds.
