This document discusses how our experiences and perceptions shape our biases. It explains that our view of the world is influenced by both intrinsic factors like our empathetic outlook and extrinsic factors such as our practical thinking. Understanding these biases can impact our well-being. The document also analyzes different world views according to dimensions like sense of self, role awareness, and self-direction. Finally, it discusses how having awareness of these biases and world views can benefit our health by allowing us to make decisions while considering multiple perspectives.
