This idea of being self-aware – aware of your own thoughts, feelings, beliefs, goals – is the second pillar of switch craft. It is directly related to the first pillar – mental agility – that you learned about in the previous chapter. How can you change to fit the situation if you don’t know your abilities or values? All emotions are important. Yes, even the negative ones. When you feel angry or scared, for example, that’s your body telling you that you need to focus on a particular issue and make some sort of change. This is essential for adapting to a changing situation. On the other hand, positive emotions like joy, hope, or pride, can leave you motivated and inventive, making you more able to thoroughly think through your decisions, or switch tasks as required. This book provides straightforward valuable tools and processes for people who have their own hurdles to overcome.’ If this isn’t possible, try to shift your focus to something more positive. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of a failed project, think about what went well.

Fox has done a great job of integrating psychology theories and research into a book targeted towards a general audience, whilst also including a detailed list of citations/recommended readings at the end for the more academically inclined. It was especially interesting to read the author's summary of research findings relating to 'staying vs. switching' and prediction error, since this relates quite closely to my own research on reinforcement learning.
