In pop psychology we look at as being negative, a confirmation bias. But you're talking about giving somebody a way of disambiguating a novel information er that they haven't considered before. We may never enter into personal narrative where we don't remember ever having felt differently. And then also, we get retroactively reil, retcon our personal narratives. That's how we've always seen the world.
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.
