What comes to mind when you think of a customer service escalation? Is it an angry customer demanding to speak to a supervisor? Perhaps it's Tier 1 support transferring a customer to Tier 2? Maybe a big issue requires another department to get involved? There's no shortage of those types of escalations this time of year, but there's one escalation that's often overlooked: the escalation from self-service to human-service.

Humans have a tendency to seek patterns. We refer to this life-saving trait as narrative bias. Life is messy, and we want to clean it up (this reminds me of a famous TV ad). Hence why it's easy to grab for a neat explanation, the tipping point, the moment you see beyond the peak and behind the wall, or turn a corner. But in real life, it is near impossible to find the crucial decision that led to an epic win or system failure.

Books are a non-addictive way to stimulate curiosity. The difference between reading a book and engaging in social media is stark. That's because the two activities engage different areas of the brain. Many studies have demonstrated that social media stimulates dopamine, which seeks short term pleasure and is addictive. By contrast, an activity that creates long term satisfaction involves serotonin.
