Episode notes

Your brain does an internal goggle search. In order for you to make sense something, just like you listen to the evening news, your brain has to make sense of something about you. You've got pages and pages of this internal evidence that says, yes, i am gritdya. This person says, gritdy is a good sign. So now you have griddy. And you are motivated, because of what it did to your dopamin to move in the direct of gritdiness. And you're attracted. Now it becomes part of your being, and you can't ever remember, it's changed. Thats but how does your brain validate that? Welli it does

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.
