Reflection questions to help you end 2025. One of the most powerful things you can do for your career and personal advancement is to reflect on what shaped you.
What's the connection? Paired donations and Honor Walks for the person who has unfortunately reached a point where they are no longer capable of living without massive medical intervention. Alvin Roth won the 2012 Nobel in Economics for essentially matching people to organs, creating a chain of donation. Cooperative games at their weirdest! (Same theory for Match.com)
It's been 14 years since my daughter passed away and watching that scene in The Pitt left me inconsolable. 10 minutes of shaking though the anxiety and a need to change my shirt from the water-works. Afterwards giving my wife the Ted Talk version of how the theory Roth won for was going to create potentially a life-saving procedure for numerous persons.
I can intellectualize a great many things by going full Defensive having retreated into some Behavioral study and reflecting on numerous baises. Every year I promise myself I'll do better with the anger that resides within and find better ways to process how school shootings, car accidents, disease all take a child away.
So in direct response to your question... several things on your list hit true. Decades of studying irrational choices based on bias and influences still have me recognizing the fallibility of humans.
*My daughter was not able to donate anything other than knowledge for some future family.
I've got some deep reflection time carved out for next week, and this gives me a great place to start. This past year was a blur, but generally a good blur.

Lary, I am so sorry for your loss. I can feel the heaviness in the words. Thinking of you.
I haven’t watched the Pitt yet. I will add it to my list.
Thanks for your comment, Lary.
