The Logic Glitch

Discover the IKEA effect, a cognitive bias that causes us to place a higher value on things we've helped create. This happens because we feel a need to justify our effort and gain a sense of competence from our labor. The more we struggle with something, whether it's building furniture or a personal project, the more attached we become to the outcome, often overvaluing its true worth.
