Interesting fact
Thomas Mann took the surname Buddenbrook for his book from Theodor Fontane’s “Effi Briest”, where a very secondary character with this name is mentioned in chapter 28. The two novels have been published within a few years, Effi Briest in 1896 and Buddenbrooks in 1901. Mann wrote that he loved the book and defined it as “one of the fundamental books for an ideal library”. There are also some similarities between Effi, the protagonist, and Tony.

Solange ich nicht weiß, bin ich, trotz aller guten Vorsätze, noch immer ein Opfer meiner Vorstellungen. Erzähle mir das Wirkliche. Die Wirklichkeit kann mich nicht so quälen wie meine Phantasie.

Experimental psychologist Tony Salvador says we often hear only what we want to hear. He asks us to move beyond selective listening and be open to hearing all ideas — even ones we don’t agree with.
