À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Have you ever noticed that what is thrilling on Monday becomes boring by Friday? Even exciting relationships, stimulating jobs and breathtaking works of art can lose their sparkle after a while. People stop noticing what is most wonderful in their own lives - and also what is terrible. They get used to dirty air. They stay in abusive relationships, accept authoritarianism and take foolish risks. They ignore their own misconduct and are more liable to believe disinformation.

But what if you could see everything anew? What if you could regain sensitivity to the great things in your life - as well as to the bad things you stopped noticing and so don't try to change? In their groundbreaking and entertaining new work, Tali Sharot and Cass R Sunstein pool insights from neuroscience and behavioural science to show us how we can see the world with new eyes.

For fans of Thinking, Fast and Slow and Atomic Habits, Look Again demonstrates how disrupting our well-worn routines can reset our brains to allow us to live happier and more fulfilling lives.
