G04 – Unlock Unknown Passion With A Push of a Button

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:

  1. 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
  2. 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?
