Look Again : The Power Of Noticing What Was Always There

---

Have you ever noticed that the strong scent of coffee or the loud ticking of a clock eventually fades from your awareness? This phenomenon is called "habituation"—the brain's ability to stop noticing things that remain constant in our environment. In Look Again, Tali Sharot and Cass R. Sunstein invite readers to fight this biological tendency to reclaim joy and alertness in their lives.

The book explores how we get used to everything, from small joys and romantic relationships to major issues like social injustice or environmental threats. For students, this concept is crucial. The authors explain that by "taking a break" or creating small changes in our routines, we can trigger the brain to see the world in vivid color once more. It provides practical strategies to "disrupt" the comfort that numbs our senses, allowing us to appreciate what we have and remain sensitive to what is wrong around us. Blending popular science with actionable advice, this book teaches us that the key to a more fulfilling life isn't necessarily having new things, but learning to look at old things with new eyes.
