That doesn’t ‘suck’, but it’s not an awesome interaction either. Riggle’s example of a social opening is simple – ordering a coffee. But Riggle’s book opened up a whole world of possibilities that I hadn’t considered: social openings or, in his lingo, opportunities for awesomeness. I, like most capital-city dwelling sheeple, know how to line up, how to efficiently order a coffee, how to politely greet a bus driver. That’s a universal experience.īut as soon as I interact with another human being, I have not thought about the choices that follow those interactions. I choose whether to go for a run or snooze my alarm, I choose whether to have toast or cereal for breakfast, I choose my (hopefully tasteful) office-attire and whether to wear the impractical pumps or the comfy crocs. Up until reading Riggle’s book, I viewed each day of a series of choices.
