COT: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman explores how our minds operate using two systems: System 1, which is fast, intuitive, and emotional, and System 2, which is slower, more deliberative, and logical. Kahneman shows how we often rely on System 1, leading to cognitive biases and errors in judgment. The book unpacks concepts like loss aversion, overconfidence, and the framing effect to explain how these mental shortcuts affect decision-making. It challenges the notion of human rationality in economics, politics, and daily life.

-repeat exercises back down to 5

Part 2: One more trip down the field and back. First, catch me if you can. PAX 1 murder bunnies while PAX 2 does 10 curls and rifle carry to catch. Immediately switch and keep going in the same direction until you reach the goal line.

COT:

• A reflection on Gifts on my birthday
o Aunt Trish – my favorite relative – passed away on St Patrick’s Day in 2018 at the age of 93. She would have turned 100 this very day o Trish was an absolute gift and we shared every birthday together
o We get lots of gifts throughout our lives – and the best gifts all share something in common – we do not deserve them, they come to us without us asking and without condition – just like my aunt Trish o Life itself is a gift
o Having a family is a gift
o Having kids is a gift
o Having friends is a gift
o F3 is a gift
o Saying you’ll do something difficult and then doing it is a gift o Age is a gift
