This is the fight-or-flight response, and it’s baked into all of us. But here’s the key: while the mechanism is shared, the threshold and output are not.

She had heard about the Black Swan theory, the idea that rare and unexpected occurrences could have a significant impact, but she never truly grasped its relevance until she experienced it firsthand. Maya worked diligently at her job, navigating through the daily grind with determination and resilience.
