Today's Reading List 📚
(1) The default effect: why we renounce our ability to choose by Anne-Laure Le Cunff (5 mins)
The default effect refers to our preference for preselected options, often leading to suboptimal decisions due to loss aversion and cognitive effort in evaluating alternatives.
This effect impacts various life aspects, limiting our potential and resulting in less-than-ideal outcomes over time.
Overcoming the default effect involves practicing metacognition, deliberate decision-making, and envisioning our future to make more intentional choices.

(2) How Innovative Ideas Arise by James Clear (8 mins)
Thomas Thwaites' attempt to build a toaster from scratch highlighted the complexity of creating basic items without pre-existing materials or processes.
Innovation often results from building upon and improving existing ideas rather than starting from scratch, as demonstrated by the evolution of flight.
Recognizing the complexity and interconnectedness of our modern world can help us leverage existing, proven ideas to efficiently create innovative solutions.

(3) The 85% Rule for Learning by Scott H. Young (4 mins)
The 85% Rule suggests optimal learning occurs when we achieve success around 85% of the time, balancing success and failure to discern effective strategies.
The rule advises adjusting the level of support or difficulty based on the success rate to optimize learning.
Several theories, including Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development, Kintsch’s zone of learnability, and Eisenberg's theory of learned industriousness, support the 85% Rule, highlighting a sweet spot of difficulty that maximizes learning and motivation.
