Wellness 2.0: The Art of the Unknown
The idea that life is unpredictable and can be shaped by unexpected events is still relevant today, 45 years after John Lennon sang about it. Despite our attempts to plan and control our lives, unknown events and curveballs can throw us off course. Political scientist Brian Klaas studies how people respond to these random events and how they can be turned to our advantage. This week, the Wellness 2.0 series concludes with an episode featuring Klaas discussing how to respond to life's unpredictability. A companion conversation with Klaas, "Wellness 2.0: Engineering Luck," is available for Hidden Brain+ subscribers, exploring the benefits of embracing randomness and chance in our lives.
