While discussing an ongoing project that had gone south with my boss, he recommended that I pretend that I was just taking over the project from someone else and to make decisions going forward as if I was working from a blank slate.

I was stunned to hear him coaching me to deter to a more rational self, and to overcome the sunk cost fallacy. Rationality techniques out in the wild, thriving.

Had to brag about my place of employment.
