We send out three cool things that we have discovered over the period of the week. We send this out every Wednesday, intended to be a mid week relief.

1. The Abilene Paradox : When Groupthink Goes Wrong

It is commonly believed that if everyone thinks something is a bad idea, no one will do it. However, a phenomenon called 'the Abilene paradox' suggests otherwise, named after a 1974 story recounted by professor and management expert Jerry B. Harvey.

3. Why Worrying is a Complete Waste of Your Time

There are instances when worrying can be constructive. It is called “constructive anxiety.” For example, it can help you prepare for something important, like delivering a speech in front of a large audience. Moderate levels of worry can help mentally prepare you for stressful tasks. However, excessive worry drains your energy and instills fear, making it a potentially distracting emotion when used in excess.
