Dalla quarta di copertina

'A smart and fun read, and a valuable way to revitalize your life,' Walter Isaacson, author of Elon Musk

Have you ever noticed that even exciting relationships and stimulating jobs can lose their sparkle? People stop noticing what is most wonderful in their own lives. They also stop noticing what is terrible. They stay in abusive relationships, take foolish risks and are more liable to believe misinformation.

But what if you could regain sensitivity, not only to the great things in your life, but also to the terrible things you stopped noticing and so don't try to change?

For fans of Thinking, Fast and Slow and The Power of Habit, Tali Sharot and Cass R Sunstein's groundbreaking new work pools insights from neuroscience and behavioural science to show how disrupting well-worn routines can allow us to live happier and more fulfilling lives.

'A sensational guide to a more psychologically rich life,' Angela Duckworth, author of Grit

'A must read for anyone who wants to feel happier, stay more present, and make healthier, more effective decisions,' Laurie Santos, host of The Happiness Lab podcast

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

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.
