Human beings seek out novelty. That’s a good thing in many ways – but it is also troublesome. This episode begins with a look at why we seek out new things, places and experiences and how we quickly adapt to them so that we then need to seek out more new novelty.

Gestures are a good example. We often use gestures to help us figure out what we are trying to say. Computers help us think and so do pictures. But there is a lot more to this idea of thinking outside the brain which you will hear when you listen to my guest Annie Murphy Paul. Annie is science writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Scientific American, Slate, Time magazine and she is author of the bestselling book The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain (https://amzn.to/3Hp3k3R) What if you followed a group of people for decades and watched how they lived? Think of it - you could discover a lot about what makes people happy and healthy over a long period of time. Well, that’s exactly what happened. The Harvard Study of Adult Development has followed the lives of two generations of individuals from the same families for more than 80 years. And you will be fascinated by what they have found. Listen as I speak with Dr. Robert J. Waldinger, who directs the study and is author of the book, The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness (https://amzn.to/3HpbFVc) Ever wonder where you fall on the introvert/extrovert scale? Listen as I explain the difference between extroversion and introversion and how to tell which one you are. I also discuss why being shy is not the same as being introverted.
