Summary
Ozan Varol is a rocket scientist turned award-winning law professor and bestselling author of Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life. His latest book, Awaken Your Genius: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary, is out now.
What We Discuss with Ozan Varol:- Just because you're recognized as being good at something doesn't mean you have to do it forever β or even ever.
- The skills we build and the lessons we learn don't go away when we decide to change course β they get repurposed and built upon for the journey ahead.
- Change doesn't have to be permanent. If a new path doesn't work as expected, consider it a failed experiment and keep experimenting until you find the right fit.
- How to develop a curiosity over victory mindset in which exploring new perspectives and ways of thinking take priority over always being right.
- How to discern between belonging to a supportive community and getting sucked into blind, cult-like tribalism.
- And much more...

| 0:00.0 | coming up next on the Jordan Harbinger Show. |
| 0:02.8 | I think there's also this problem with belonging in the modern world. |
| 0:07.2 | Like, we've lost touch with so much that makes us human. |
| 0:12.0 | But we don't belong in nature, we don't belong. |
| 0:15.2 | We like, leaving these suburban boxes disconnected from neighbors, disconnected from animals, disconnected from nature, disconnected from... |
| 0:22.2 | So much that makes us human, and so we're craving belonging. |
| 0:26.0 | And I think things like conspiracy theories give people a sense of belonging because now you believe this thing that other people don't believe, and by the way you can find other friends online who also believe that thing. |
| 0:37.8 | And you can get this sense of belonging in a way that, unfortunately, we're so deprived of. |
| 0:46.6 | Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. |
| 0:49.0 | On the Jordan Harbinger Show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people. |
| 0:54.0 | We have in-depth conversations with scientists and entrepreneurs, spies and psychologists, even the occasional Emmy-nominated comedian investigative journalist, Russian spy, or Gold Smuggler. |
| 1:04.2 | Any episode turns our guests wisdom into practical advice that you can use to build a deeper understanding of how the world works and become a better thinker. |

| 1:52.1 | Today, male buddy Ozon Verol is back on the show. Basically, a rocket scientist writes a self-help book. Cute. |
| 1:58.6 | Actually, he's a lawyer, a professor, and a rocket scientist. No big deal. |
| 2:03.1 | Ozon is, a brilliant mind, obviously. He's great at helping us clarify our thinking, undue damage to our critical thinking skills that's often done in education systems, aka school, like the ones we all grew up in. |
| 2:15.1 | In this episode, we also explore why what we do isn't and should not become our identity and how to make that shift. |
| 2:22.0 | There's a whole lot here on good thinking, good thinking habits, getting out of bad thinking habits, and of course, as the book title suggests, awakening our genius. |
