Another excellent video from the authors of Designing Your Life, Dave Evans and Bill Burnett. While COVID-19 will prevent many of our students from getting hands-on experience in a potential career field, Burnett and Evans note that there is no better time to conduct informational interviews. Furthermore, they cite Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert to argue that “surrogation” (i.e. the practice of learning more about a particular experience through the experience of another person) is even more valuable that simulation (trying to simulate that experience yourself).
