I am interested in how you make the connections you do—are they things you actively look for, or do you watch all these films and have “aha” moments?

There’s been this collective aha moment in the country where people who are 65 are saying I’m going to live until I’m 90.

“There’s never this ‘aha’ moment, when we’re going through wreckage or we’re going through records and we say, ‘Ah, I found the single reason this plane crashed.’

“And that distinction between inner and lower, versus outer and upper, is just so important, and the first big ‘aha’ for many people.”

“It’s a sense of belonging to something bigger — and that is, I think, a really powerful ‘aha!’ moment for a lot of people,” Dr. Schreiber-Pan said.
