Don't Approach Life Like a Picky Eater

Try new things. Not too much. Mostly experiences.

Many parents of young children struggle to introduce new foods into their kids' diets. About half of American children are picky eaters by the age of two; they are, in the vernacular of nutritionists, "food neophobic." Our pediatrician once told me that one of our sons, who was a fussy eater, would need to try a new food at least six times before the taste would no longer fill him with fear and loathing. My wife and I wanted to fight our son's food neophobia for some practical, nutritional reasons, but more fundamentally, we wanted him to eat adventurously so he could enjoy this part of life. Openness to a wide variety of tastes and smells enhances the pleasure of eating.

This is an instance of a larger truth: Openness to a wide variety of life experiences, from visiting interesting places to considering unusual political views, brings happiness. "Only someone who is ready for everything, who doesn't exclude any experience, even the most incomprehensible," Rainer Maria Rilke wrote in his Letters to a Young Poet, "will himself sound the depths of his own being."
