In this thought-provoking episode of 15 Minute Mondays, I explore the psychology of overconfidence and the Circle of Competence, a mental model that helps us recognise what we genuinely understand, where our knowledge ends, and when it's time to question our own judgement.

From relationships and personal decisions to finances and everyday advice, we examine why real expertise requires more than information, why intelligent people remain curious about what they don't know, and how honest feedback can prevent costly mistakes.

This episode gives you five practical tools for evaluating your abilities, challenging your assumptions, and developing the kind of self-awareness that improves your decisions.

Key Takeaways

• Why confidence and competence are often mistaken for one another.
• How to identify the boundaries of your own circle of competence.
• Why understanding opposing arguments is a useful test of your knowledge.
• How a decision journal reveals weaknesses in your judgement.
• Why honest feedback and continuous learning are essential to maintaining expertise.
