Core Performance

That’s why a survivor must compartmentalize and set small goals. It would kill him not to. Simpson “felt crushed” as he realized that the movie had to start over—the friggin’ movie!—right from the first stupid clichéd reel. It was enough to make you do what all good survivors do: He laughed at himself. “This is getting ridiculous,” he said out loud. You become like a slapstick version of yourself, taking pratfalls and suffering impossible abuses, like Laurel and Hardy getting run over by a steamroller and getting back up again.
Deep Survival

When we are in the losses, we are not only more likely to stick to a losing course of action, but also to double down. This tendency is called escalation of commitment. Escalation of commitment is robust and universal, occurring in individuals, organizations, and governmental entities. All of us tend to get stuck in courses of action once started, especially in the face of bad news. Escalation of commitment doesn’t just occur in high-stakes situations. It also happens when the stakes are low, demonstrating the pervasiveness of the error.
