“Chapter 1: Resulting (page 20) Resulting makes us lack compassion for ourselves and others. When someone has a bad outcome in their life, we judge their decision-making as poor because of resulting. That makes it easy to blame them for the way things turned out. No need to have compassion because the outcome was their fault. And it's not just other people. We lack self-compassion when we make these connections in our own lives. We beat ourselves up when things don't work out the way we had hoped. For good outcomes, we're not doing anyone a service by potentially overlooking their mistakes simply because it worked out. We're definitely hurting ourselves, not just in learning, but in assessing our self-worth based on how things turned out rather than on whether we made a good decision under the circumstances.”

“Chapter 1: As the Old Saying Goes, Hindsight Is Not 20/20 (page 38) Hindsight bias vaccine As you were using the Knowledge Tracker, it may have occurred to you that it would be a good idea to journal the "stuff you knew before the decision" while you are in the process of making the decision. It can be hard to accurately recall what you knew before the fact once you already know the outcome. Journaling gives you something concrete to refer back to. Writing down the key facts informing your decision also acts like a vaccine against hindsight bias. Thinking about what you know at the time of the decision in this more deliberative way creates a clearer time stamp, preventing memory creep before it happens. Later in this book we'll take a deep dive into how to better memorialize decisions.”
