Made me think of Thin Slicing from Gladwell’s book Blink. But he’s referring to “thinking fast” types of decision making. As a mathematician, I think of thin slicing as a natural mental calculus we can apply to our advantage in decision making and a way deconstruct and reconstruct our lives and lifetime. It’s in the summation of these key thin slices from which our impact as humans comes.
So many applications for one idea. I suppose they're all getting at the relationship between the slice and the whole. What can you learn about one by studying the other? How can you use focusing on one or the other to your advantage?

I've never heard this described as thin slicing before but I love it and I also love prosciutto so win-win all around ❤️
Haha who doesn't love prosciutto with their mindfulness? :)
Dear Bree,
