stephen dubner: How does facing death change your life? angela duckworth: I almost got killed in a traffic accident while driving back from getting my second covid vacine shot. i expected to have some kind of an emotional reckoning or reassessment. But i did not have one of those hollywood moments like i am going to live my every day as if it's my last day. Is something wrong with me? Are you missing a chip? Or maybe this means i've got a mature view of death and that i'm maybe even ready to go.
