I broke into my own house.
in the dead of Montreal winter,
ती मध्यरात्र होती .
Jeff, across town,
जेफला मला भेटावयाचे होते.
read minus 40 degrees --
मायनस चाळीस तापमान दाखवीत होता .
if that's Celsius or Fahrenheit,
मी पाहिलेही नाही .
एकत्र येतात.
fumbling in my pockets,
खिश्यात हात घालून मी उभा राहिलो.
through the window,
where I had left them.
and tried all the other doors and windows,
दरवाजे खिडक्या पहिल्या.
at least I had my cellphone,
किल्लीवाल्याला बोलवायचे ठरविले.
for a locksmith to show up,
Jeff's house for the night
मी जाऊ शकत नव्हतो .
to Europe the next morning,
मला विमान पकडायचे होते .
my passport and my suitcase.
व सुटकेस घ्यायची होती.
through the basement window,
तळाच्या खिडकीच्या काचा तोडल्या
and taped it up over the opening,
तो उघड्या भागावर बांधला.
on the way to the airport,
जावयाचे होते .
खिडकीच्या दुरुस्तीसाठी.
and ask him to fix it.
than a middle-of-the-night locksmith,
हे कमी खर्चिक होते.
I was coming out even.
about how the brain performs under stress.
मेंदू कसा काम करतो.
that raises your heart rate,
त्यामुळे हृदयाची धड धड वाढते.
नियंत्रित करते .
चिता वाटू लागली.
that I had to call my contractor,
बोलवायला हवे होते .
the cortisol in my brain,
कोर्टिसोल पातळीने.
because my thinking was cloudy.
कारण माझी मती कुंठीत झाली होती.
to the airport check-in counter,
विमानतळावरील तपासणी केंद्रात गेलो.
and ice, 40 minutes,
चाळीस मिनिटातच पोहोचलो.
raced back to the airport,
my seat to someone else,
next to the bathrooms,
शोचालयाजवळ बसावे लागले.
on an eight-hour flight.
मला आठ तासाचा प्रवास करावयाचा होता.
during those eight hours and no sleep.
आठ्तासाच्या प्रवासात. झोपही येईना.
are there things that I can do,
तेवढेच मला करता येण्यागे होते .
from happening?
of it being a total catastrophe.
कसे टाळता येईल.
until about a month later.
ते एक महिन्याने.
Danny Kahneman, the Nobel Prize winner,
त्यास नोबल पारितोषिक मिळालेले होते.
about having broken my window,
याची घटना त्याला सांगितली.
तेही त्यास सांगितले.
something called prospective hindsight.
विचार करीत असल्याचे सांगितले.
from the psychologist Gary Klein,
त्याने त्याचे धडे गिरविले होते.
a few years before,
to figure out what went wrong, right?
जे काही बरे वाईट घडले असेल त्याचे.
all the things that could go wrong,
चाहूल लागली पाहिजे बरे वाईट ओळखण्यास.

or to minimize the damage.
in the form of a pre-mortem.

like common sense, and it is,

of thousands of years,
of important things --

somebody actually did the experiment
असे तुमच्या मनात येईल.
the olfactory sense of the squirrels,
विलग केला .
they were using the hippocampus,
हिपोकाम्पासचा वर करीत होते.
in the brain for finding things.
मेंदूला वस्तू शोधण्यास मदत करते

Why you should listen
Dr. Daniel Levitin is a neuroscientist at McGill University in Montreal, dean at Minerva Schools in San Francisco and a musician. His research focuses on pattern processing in the brain.
His three books This Is Your Brain on Music, The World in Six Songs, and the recent The Organized Mind are all bestsellers. A polymath at heart, he has performed with top musicians and holds a few gold and platinum records.
Levitin earned his B.A. in Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science at Stanford University, and went on to earn his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Oregon, researching complex auditory patterns and pattern processing in expert and non-expert populations. He completed post-doctoral training at Stanford University Medical School (in Neuroimaging) and at UC Berkeley (in Cognitive Psychology). He has consulted on audio sound source separation for the U.S. Navy, and on audio quality for several rock bands and record labels (including the Grateful Dead and Steely Dan), and served as one of the “Golden Ears” expert listeners in the original Dolby AC3 compression tests. He worked for two years at the Silicon Valley think tank Interval Research Corporation.
He taught at Stanford University in the Department of Computer Science, the Program in Human-Computer Interaction, and the Departments of Psychology, Anthropology, Computer Music, and History of Science.
