My son, Eli, gave his mom a meme subscription for her B-day. His promise was simple; he would scour the Internet and send her a meme each day for the entire year. I think it lasted 3 weeks before he missed the first day and then it slowly crumbled from there. Eli quickly discovered that …
Great questions Taylor. It’s a nice illusion that we have about ourselves – that we gather all the relevant data and weigh and measure before we make rational decisions. In truth, our cognitive and emotional biases make most of the decisions for us. “Mindfulness” can give us a path around the biases. Mindfulness can be …
