Episode notes

Doctor maya shankar's podcast was named apple podcasts best show of the year. Maya has interviewed celebrities like tiffany hattash and casey musgraves. But she' also interviewed real life inspirations as well, people who have dealt with cancer diagnoses or the loss of a loved one. I challenge you to listen to an episode and not walk away feeling inspired.

Not all surprises trigger change, but almost all change is triggered by surprise. In this episode, Micheal Rousell, author of The Power of Surprise, explains the science of surprise at the level of neurons and brain structures, and then talk about how surprises often lead to the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, the different personal narratives that guide our behaviors and motivations and goals, and, perhaps most importantly, our willingness to be surprised again so that we can change and grow.
