Episode notes

The speakers emphasize the need for flexibility and open-mindedness, discussing the tendency for humans to stick to their habits and behaviors. They highlight the importance of curiosity in keeping us active and inquisitive about life, exploring the question of whether it's possible to change the trend of decreasing curiosity as we grow older.

This episode is part two of my conversation with Dr. Mauro Guillén, a Spanish-American sociologist, political economist, and management educator. I know him because he is the former dean of the Cambridge Business School. He's also a fellow at Queens College, so we share that in common too. He has built a series of research helping us look at those great trends, how they'll collide, and how they'll reshape the future of everything so that we can zoom out to get that perspective in order to zoom in and make tradeoffs that allow us to design a life that really matters.
