概要
Is change something to fear — or something to embrace?
In this fascinating episode of Strategies for Living, Dr. David McMillian and psychotherapist Lauren Leon McMillian welcome award-winning author and life strategist Oren Harman to explore the profound science and metaphor of metamorphosis.
Drawing from his new book Metamorphosis, Harman reveals how three-quarters of animal species undergo dramatic transformation — from caterpillars dissolving into butterflies to axolotls regenerating limbs and even parts of their brains. But this conversation goes far beyond biology.
Together, we explore:
- How metamorphosis shapes identity and memory
- Whether butterflies remember being caterpillars
- What neuroscience teaches us about adolescent brain development
- The evolutionary “cost” of transformation
- The difference between narrative and episodic identity
- Why change feels so difficult — and how to embrace it
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “Am I still the same person I used to be?” — this episode is for you.
Transformation is not the end of who you are. It may be the return to your truest self.
