About this ebook
These three books teach the habits. Cognitive Biases Made Simple names the distortions running quietly in every decision you make. Cognitive Performance Made Simple turns the science of a well-run mind into daily practice. Clear Thinking Made Simple puts it together into plain judgment you can trust.
Each book is short, practical, and written to be used this week — not studied someday. Read them in order to rebuild how you think from the ground up, or start with the one that meets you where you are. Either way, the goal is the same: a mind that checks itself before it wrecks itself.
This is not about being the smartest person in the room — it is about being the clearest.
Pair it with Made Simple: Ten Mental Models for the decision frameworks that clear thinking puts to work.

About the author
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kimani Upshur, M.Ed., is the creator of The Made Simple Framework — a growing series of books designed to make complex ideas easier to understand and apply in everyday life.
His work focuses on the core systems that shape how people think, decide, and act. Drawing from decision science, systems thinking, behavioral economics, and real-world experience, the Made Simple series breaks down complicated topics into clear frameworks that help readers think more effectively in a complex world.
Rather than offering abstract theory, Upshur’s work emphasizes practical tools for understanding incentives, navigating uncertainty, improving judgment, and making better decisions over time.
Through the Made Simple Framework, he explores how ideas from finance, technology, psychology, and strategy interact in the real world — and how individuals can use those ideas to build better outcomes in their personal and professional lives.
His goal is simple: help people think clearly, understand complex systems, and make better decisions over time.
