By Laurence Gonzales

Prezi by Samuel Ericksen

Mental Maps

Positive Mental Attitude

Emotional Bookmarks

Emotions

No Prior Experience

Mental Models

  • Experience felt good, got an emotional bookmark
  • Emotions work faster than logic- cause of impulsiveness
  • Humor is important
  • People have a hard time performing under stress
  • Fear causes production of adrenal catecholamines

People get lost because their mental map does not match reality

  • Stay positive
  • Be humble
  • Think of others

Flexibility

Self-organizing Systems

  • Soldier drowned because of emotional bookmarks
  • Soldier had no prior experience with rafting
  • Snowmobilers had no prior experience with avalanches
  • Accidents are normal
  • Climbing accident was predictable
  • Don't worship the plan
  • Zen teaches openness
  • People white-water rafted in a flood, didn't notice trees in the river
  • Man run over by train in 1830
  • Author got caught in a blizzard while skiing and went in the opposite direction of the lodge
  • In all three cases, their mental models and prior experience did not match reality

Inevitability

Preparation

  • Climbers weren't anchored
  • Climbers most likely celebrated at peak and experienced peer pressure
  • Climbers worshiped the plan
  • Accident was inevitable
  • People go into the wilderness (or Hawaii) unprepared
  • People enter Hawaiian wilderness on vacation and are never seen again
