We forget that everything is relative ; We compartmentalize ; We avoid pain ; We trust ourselves ; We overvalue what we have ; We worry about fairness and effort ; We believe in the magic of language and rituals ; We overvalue expectations ; We lose control ; We overemphasize money -- Now what? Building on the shoulders of flawed thinking. Put your money where your mind is ; Free advice ; Control yourself ; It's us against them ; Stop and think.
