Whitney Johnson, the author of this book, advocates disrupting yourself as a deliberate process of self-innovation, rewiring your brain to build new neural pathways.

"

So when you disrupt yourself, what are you doing? It's a deliberate process of self innovation. It's a decision to build new neural pathways to rewire your brain.

So I'll just say that up front. So when you disrupt yourself, what are you doing? It's a deliberate process of self innovation.

And, and the, the genesis of this is that I had the privilege of working with Clayton Christensen at Harvard business school for the better part of a decade. And he talked about this term of disruptive innovation was very focused on products and services and companies and countries. And I had this aha that organizations don't disrupt people do.

And the only way then your organization or anything in the world can make progress is if we as individuals are willing to disrupt ourselves. Yes, I love that. That's what it is. So progress only comes through disruption.

So when I say running a predictive model, I mean your brain is doing this thing of saying, like you said, here's what it's going to be like when I get off the plane. Here's what it's going to be like when I go and talk to someone for the first time in Spanish or try to listen to them in Spanish.

And he talked about it in the context of products and services and companies and countries.

And he wrote a book called The Innovator's Dilemma.

It was popularized by Everett Rogers back in the 1960s, and he used it to understand how groups change over time. It's sometimes referred to as the adoption curve.
