Dan, this was really amazing. I kept thinking about Dan Gilbert’s book, “Stumbling on Happiness,” and the research on how bad people are about predicting how we’ll feel in the future. It’s a research book, not an advice book, but he does say that most people overestimate how different they are than everyone else, and that the best (but still not absolutely dependable) strategy is to find others who have faced the same choice and see how they felt afterwards. What you’re doing here takes that even further — to see how a simulated *you* would feel in each situation. Your journal entries are a great foundation for that simulation; I am thinking about what I have that would provide a similar foundation.
