Specifically… on Manufacturing Serendipity…
On your way to the office walk or drive once every other day (when you’re not in a rush) take a new route, explore a street you’ve never been down.

And the question is why? What is it about that the practice of taking a different route that is so helpful well there’s two things,
First there’s the idea of manufacturing serendipity – you never know what you are going to find and there comes the idea of exploration…you might find something you’ve never seen before and enjoy this different route and there’s a little bit of serendipity there.
but there’s another idea that people always overestimate the things that make them happy and underestimate the value of things that they don’t know make them happy.
Cause people overestimate what makes them happy and what makes them unhappy… they really never thought to think that by subtracting or changing, it could it be something orders of magnitude – more valuable in my life
