Dr. Tali Sharot: The Neuroscience of Happiness, Breaking & Creating Habits and the Power of Variety
Dr. Tali Sharot, one of the most innovative neuroscientists of our time, joins us to explore the science of behaviour, happiness, and change.
As the author of The Optimism Bias and The Influential Mind, Tali is an expert in how our brains shape our lives and decisions. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating concept of habituation—how our minds adapt to experiences over time, often dulling our joy and awareness. Tali reveals how dishabituation can bring variety, happiness, and meaning back into our lives, offering practical tools to help us wake up to the world around us.
In the pursuit of happiness, Tali unpacks the interconnected roles of variety, meaning, and optimism, offering insights into why midlife often feels the least optimistic and how we can reverse the trend. From breaking bad habits to crafting a life of psychological richness, this episode is packed with science-backed tools to transform your mindset.
Dr. Tali Sharot’s new book, Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There, is a must-read for anyone looking to break free from the ordinary and rediscover joy – available now.
