The Science of Surprises

Why surprise? Science explains why surprise can bring us pleasure. Tania Luna and LeeAnn Renninger, authors of the book “Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected”, explain that “being surprised activates the pleasure centers in our brain and gives us a nice shot of dopamine, which makes experiences more enjoyable.”

Have you noticed how an unexpected small note or letter can bring you more joy than making them yourself? How about an unexpected single stalk of flower on your office desk compared to a bunch of flowers purchased by yourself, for yourself? The unexpected, unpredictable things can give us pleasure.

Pleasant surprises are not only good for any relationship, it’s also good for mental health. "When we invite surprise into our lives on a regular basis, we elevate our mood," said Luna. Not only that, she says we build a tolerance for uncertainty, which in turn reduces anxiety.

If surprises are good for us and our loved ones, why not take advantage of it? In this world where everything is at the tip of our fingers, we can easily make a difference in the lives of others wherever they are in the world.

This is where Xurprise comes to the picture. We help transport your love without you having to leave your place. We help express your love without being predictable. We help improve relationships even without personal meet ups. We create happiness. We create more love.

That being said, while the absence of family members and friends can be heartbreaking to the graduate, thankfully, there is a relief to this.
