I enjoyed this article. Interfacing personal advice with economic principles makes sense since economies are aggregates of humans. All your topics resonated with me! I'll try to think about them often and apply them in real life situations.

My favorite principle is this article is mean reversion. I had never heard of it before! This concept sounds optimistic, avoids extremes, and it encourages steady faith and trust.

This could be developed into an educational book for beginners like me, but it would also be inspirational for anyone already in the know like your Dad. Your emerging speciality is synthesis between fields that are normally presented as self-contained. I can imagine you on Cautionary Tales explaining your work to Tim Harford. Self-help through economic principles, like All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Econ.
