Continuing with my series on what drives people from when my book, What Drives You came out, I bring you cognitive neuroscientist, Maya Shankar. She is also the host of a hugely popular podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, named Apple Podcast of the year in 2021. Maya actually founded the Behavioral Science Team at the White House, called “the Nudge Unit, which used insights from behavioral economics to write better public policy. Maya’s focus is around what happens to and in us, when change happens. Change we’ve pursued, and change that has fallen upon us. She shares about a girl who lost 100 lbs and realized she was no longer who she was, and who she liked, and she was disappointed at people’s new behavior to her just because she lost weight. And the health nut who got cancer and from it realized if he’d understood what dealing with cancer did for his mindset, he wouldn’t have feared it so much. This is a very candid discussion with Maya on the ins and outs of her own experiences with change and what happens to us when change happens.
