Look again

  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. It offers strategies for overcoming habituation to maintain a sense of wonder and appreciation for both positive and negative experiences. References Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBdI0R8S0FE
