Here are some notable quotes from "Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There" by Tali Sharot and Cass R. Sunstein:

1. "Perfect is not a state people enjoy. When we cannot learn, we get bored and unhappy. When change halts—when you stop learning and progressing—depression kicks in." citeturn0search0

2. "Many of us try to maximize happiness; many try to maximize meaning or purpose. But you may also try to achieve another aspect of life beyond happiness and meaning—variation. You may try to live a life with new experiences, new places, new people, and new perspectives, and thus with diversity in what you see and do." citeturn0search0

3. "Pleasure results from incomplete and intermittent satisfaction of desires." citeturn0search0

4. "The same neural principle that causes you to become desensitized to the smell of your own aftershave is also at work when you subconsciously believe repeated information. Neural processing is reduced in response to repeated stimuli. When it is effortless for you to process information because of repetition (i.e., less neural response), you are more likely to accept it as true. Effortless means there is no 'surprise signal.' You don't stop to ponder; you just accept." citeturn0search1

These insights emphasize the importance of embracing change, seeking new experiences, and remaining vigilant against the complacency that repetition can bring.
