For fans of Thinking Fast and Slow and The Power of Habit, a groundbreaking new study of how disrupting our well-worn routines, both good and bad, can rejuvenate our days and reset our brains to allow us to live happier and more fulfilling lives. Look Again, co-authored by neuroscience professor Tali Sharot and Harvard Law School Professor and The New York Times best-selling author Cass Sunstein, is based on decades of research in the psychological and biological sciences. It illuminates how we can reignite the sparks of joy, innovate, and recognize where improvements urgently need to be made. The key to this disruption—to seeing, feeling, and noticing again—is change.
The event is open to all registrants and will allow time for open Q&A. It is presented by the Behavioral Insights Student Group (BISG).
Please note this event was moved to April 30th at 12 PM ET.
