Episode notes

i love the scar experiment i feel like this sums up a lot of what we've been talking about if you could talk about it any lengthy like they tell people they put a scar on their face and they had them have conversations if you could explain it. That was with michael kazanica is one of my favorite humans of all time yeah go aheadYeah well it's a great experiment and because it talks about confirmation bias which i think is a great tool and you can use it wisely in in surprise but he would get these subjects and say we want to find out how people respond to somebody with a scar.

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.

In the show, you will how we can use the current understanding of how surprise leads to learning, and how learning depends on interpretation, to improve our lives, and the lives of others
