I set out on my journey of 365 unaware of the brain’s function and role in life.
In fact, I never even really thought about the brain, nor how it worked;
Despite studying and relying on it heavily my whole life, I never developed a relationship with my brain.
I never understood what happens in the brain.
I never knew how to take care of the brain.
I just didn’t even think about thinking #meta
Until I came across this video….
Pop-science? Perhaps.
Oversimplification? Ideally.
But it sparked a curiosity in me that ignited this thirst for what was happening in my brain.
This led to behavioral psychology, persuasion, neuroscience, and more.
Leading to reading anything and everything I could find
Including the mind-blowing book The Future of the Brain: Essays by the World’s Leading Neuroscientists
And through this search, this discovery process, I gained such awe, amazement and gratitude at the beauty of the situation.
This beauty is two fold:
- That the brain which lies inside me, inside you, is still hardly understood; despite all our technology, it’s still a mystery to be uncovered
- That the internet and technology allows us to stumble upon an unknown passion and enables us to fulfill this desire to our hearts’ content at the push of a button
What is one of your passions you newly discovered? How have you satisfied it with a push of a button? How amazing is that?
