Summary
Exploration is something that most of us think is a good idea in theory, but we don’t do it. The estimates vary, but neuroscientists and psychologists agree that large chunks of human behavior are merely habits and patterns. The low estimates are 40%. Some estimates go as high as 80-90% of behavior is just on autopilot. That’s good because it makes us efficient, but it doesn’t necessarily make us happy. That’s where rules come in. You can create your own rules to spark creativity and exploration, to create new opportunities, and to discover new things about yourself.
