Summary

Dr. Maya Shankar is a cognitive scientist who studies how our minds work and how we change. Her career milestones are nothing short of impressive -- from convincing the White House to create a job for her to her work in human behavior and decision-making at Yale, Oxford and Stanford, and she recently launched her own podcast called, A Slight Change of Plans.

Dr. Shankar is on Goal Digger to explore the sometimes stress-inducing topic of change. When confronted with a major life or career change, how do we manage and thrive? Are humans today more or less change averse? And if you think you’re “bad with change”, what can you do about it? Here she is, Dr. Maya Shankar.
