In the book
Two simple questions re-level it. First: will this matter in five hours, five days, five weeks, five years? Second, the one I lean on hardest — the focusing illusion, which Kahneman summed up as nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it. The thing looms enormous only because you are staring at it; widen the lens to a whole life and most of today's catastrophe shrinks to a footnote. […] Reappraise the storm. Change the definition and you change the feeling. Ask whether this will matter in five years; remember that nothing is as important as it seems while you are staring at it. When you are stuck in a traffic jam fuming, picture a friend who has died and ask what he would give to be stuck in this very jam — your whole perspective turns to gratitude. — The Heart in the Cockpit (Emotion/Awe/Anxiety/Regret/Empathy)
