CM 314: Anthony Klotz on When and How to Quit
Q: What are the degrees of jolts and how can we measure their impact on behavior?
Researchers identify boundaries and factors such as novelty, disruptiveness, and alignment with personal values to determine how likely an event is to jolt someone, yet day-to-day feelings and mood also affect impact, making measurement challenging.
CM 314: Anthony Klotz on When and How to Quit
Q: In your book's introduction, you write that many of us are just one event away from leaving our job. How so?
The idea is that events happen constantly, but Jolts are a subset that stop us and force reflection; even a lottery win can trigger a rethink, and many small, everyday events can have the same effect over time.
