Thinking, Fast and Slow is the best Behavioral Finance book ever. Here are 10 things I learned from the book:

The Cultural Tutor London in the 1930s. A moment lost in time. Never before have we been able to view history with such unbelievable clarity. Piccadilly Circus around 1932 🎥 x.com/Culture_Crit/s…

• "Only saving for a specific goal makes sense in a predictable world. But ours isn’t. Saving is a hedge against life’s inevitable ability to surprise the hell out of you at the worst possible moment."

Really pleased that finally - after So. Many. Emails. - we’ve been able to turn off the nitrous oxide manifold (wall supply) at my hospital and introduced an alternate supply. This will be a ~~1% cut to the hospital’s carbon footprint just by turning this valve! 🌿

We recommend that every anaesthesia department has a Departmental Wellbeing Lead to support the health of staff. In partnership with the Association of Anaesthetists we have produced a recommended job description and person specification for the role. ow.ly/Czo650OJSR3
