Thanks to my friend, Suzanne, for sharing this awesome video with me!
In this video from Smarter Every Day, the host, Destin, demonstrates what really happens when you actually try to change your mind. I don’t mean when you switch to pizza instead of a hamburger. I mean when you try to change something your mind has done the same way for decades, like riding a bike. You will see the neuroplasticity of the brain in action, and realize that it takes a lot more work when you’re an adult than a child to create new paths in the brain.
Of course, you will immediately want to take the challenge of riding a backwards bike as soon as you watch the video. If you are so inclined, you can buy your own for $500 at the Smarter Every Day shop. There is a disclaimer, of course, that you will basically be paying a lot of money for a bike you won’t be able to ride…
