What would you be left with if everything you did disappeared tomorrow? A 221-year-old carriage maker, a cognitive scientist and a philosopher all land on the same answer: hold your certainties loosely. This week’s #TheEdit is about changing your mind, and your path.

• The 221-year-old company that reinvented itself – 4 times. Not only pivoting from horse-and-carriage to a successful car business, D’Ieteren went on to become the world leader in windscreen repair – and now owns Moleskine. The secret? Never mistaking what you do for who you are – Big Think 
• How to offset your brain. From confirmation bias to loss aversion, everyone suffers from cognitive biases. Skilfully targeted mindfulness can help – Aeon 
• How to imagine a better future for yourself. Feeling unclear or pessimistic about what’s ahead? Your ‘best possible self’ is a tool for seeing things differently – Psyche   
• Can we trust something we don’t fully understand? Trust is delicate and hard-earned – and it can be the difference between experimentation and scale. As countries and organisations race to adopt AI, the question isn’t just ‘what can it do’ but ‘how much confidence do we have in it?’ – The Green Room Podcast

• Stop chasing your “one true passion.” It might not exist. Trying to solve one’s existential dread by finding a singular purpose is a game won only by not playing – Big Think   
• What is vibecoding, and can I do it too? Everyone can be a coder now. Or so it seems – The Beautiful Truth
