Episode notes

Beliefs are most effective when they're clear. When you change a belief, it's best to move forward with that belief. And our upright brains are pretty functional. So if your brain allows you to look at all these prior beliefs without them being just like a prior narrative, then e you can't really get productive or do anything o move forward. I i like surprises about er a moment a challenges the belief you haven't but yourself - no te hover car or finding a hundred dollar bill doesn't change who you are as a person.

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.
