  The neuroscience professor Tali Sharot and Harvard law professor (and presidential advisor) Cass R. Sunstein investigate why we stop noticing both the great and not-so-great things around us and how to “dishabituate” at the office, in the bedroom, at the store, on social media, and in the voting booth. The book  "Look Again: How We Habituate to Everything, All the Time" discusses the concept of habituation, which is the process by which people and animals become accustomed to stimuli that repeat, leading to a decrease in response. The book explores how habituation impacts various aspects of life, including happiness, relationships, work, and creativity.

This new book explores how small changes in social behavior can lead to large-scale shifts , but it focuses on the darker side of these phenomena—how social engineering, manipulation, and unintended consequences can create harmful epidemics. **Key Themes and Concepts** 1. ** Social Epidemics and Power Dynamics* *      Gladwell examines how individuals or small groups—whom he terms " super spreaders "—can disproportionately influence social trends.
