  The Dunning-Kruger Effect - Why...

  The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias that leads individuals with limited knowledge or ability in a particular area to overestimate their competence. Named after psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, who first identified this phenomenon in 1999, the effect reveals a paradox in human cognition: the less people know, the more likely they are to believe they know everything. Conversely, experts in a field tend to underestimate their abilities, assuming that others possess the same level of expertise. This bias is not only fascinating from a psychological standpoint but also carries significant implications for personal, professional, and societal development. 
  At the core of the Dunning-Kruger effect is the misjudgment of one’s capabilities, which stems from a lack of metacognitive awareness—the ability to assess one’s own knowledge and skills accurately. Incompetent individuals, lacking the expertise required to recognize their deficiencies, are unable to discern how little they know. This lack of insight leads them to overestimate their abilities and make decisions based on flawed reasoning. As a result, they may unknowingly engage in behaviors that exacerbate their incompetence, further reinforcing their false sense of expertise. 
  One of the most compelling aspects of the Dunning-Kruger effect is its broad applicability across various fields. From everyday social interactions to high-stakes decision-making in professional environments, this cognitive bias affects people at all levels. In the workplace, for example, leaders with limited knowledge in a specific domain may make decisions that negatively impact their teams, while employees with expertise may remain silent or defer to those who appear more confident. In education, students and teachers alike may fall victim to this effect, with the former believing they fully understand a topic despite limited comprehension, and the latter overestimating their teaching efficacy.

  Deep Reading - Practices to...

  This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth. 
   
   
   
  The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices—distraction, hostility, and consumerism—that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
   
   
   
  Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ—such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion—and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deepreading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.
