Duncan J. Watts
“people systematically overestimate both the pain they will experience as a consequence of anticipated losses and the joy they will garner from anticipated gains.”
Duncan J. Watts, Everything is Obvious: Once You Know the Answer

Duncan J. Watts
“In any given situation we know the point we’re trying to make, or the decision we want to support, and we choose the appropriate piece of commonsense wisdom to apply to it.”
Duncan J. Watts, Everything is Obvious: Once You Know the Answer

Daniel Kahneman
“effort of will or self-control is tiring; if you have had to force yourself to do something, you are less willing or less able to exert self-control when the next challenge comes around.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Brené Brown
“The courage to be vulnerable is not about winning or losing, it’s about the courage to show up when you can’t predict or control the outcome.”
Brené Brown, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.

Duncan J. Watts
“As sociologists are fond of pointing out, many of these aphorisms appear to be direct contradictions of each other. Birds of a feather flock together, but opposites attract. Absence indeed makes the heart grow fonder, but out of sight is out of mind. Look before you leap, but he who hesitates is lost. Of course, it is not necessarily the case that these beliefs are contradictory—because we invoke different aphorisms in different circumstances. But because we never specify the conditions under which one aphorism applies versus another, we have no way of describing what it is that we really think or why we think it. Common sense, in other words, is not so much a worldview as a grab bag of logically inconsistent, often contradictory beliefs, each of which seems right at the time but carries no guarantee of being right any other time.”
Duncan J. Watts, Everything is Obvious: Once You Know the Answer
