The power of surprise is the ability to create better personal narratives in our own lives. What is a belief? My book's all about beliefe, because you can't be surprised if you don't have a belief. You do all that according to your mind set, which is the active component of your belief. And so once you have an underlying belief, you move forward in the world. That drives your expectations, your predictions, your understanding and confirmation by us.
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.
