Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected is a fascinating look at how we can handle and harness surprise in our work, relationships, and everyday lives.
When things go according to plan, those things are essentially invisible to us. Worse still, when we overdose on predictability, we begin to feel that slow, soul-sucking torture of hypo-stress (the stress of not enough stimulation): blah meetings, boring weekends, and bland conversations.
Surprise is the antidote. In Surprise, Tania Luna and LeAnn Renninger, Ph.D., show you how the unexpected is--and can be--used in every aspect of our day-to-day lives. With colorful anecdotes, interviews with notable people who have successfully harnessed the power of surprise, and fascinating scientific studies, Surprisewill give a fresh perspective to even the most mundane activities and encounters.
