In today's 10th episode, Jason welcomes Cass Sunstein, author of "LOOK AGAIN: The Power of Noticing What was Always There," They discuss the concept of habituation and its effects on our perception of stimuli, including the importance of gratitude and the need to dishabituate to maintain a balanced perspective. They also explored the evolutionary significance of the human brain's filtering mechanism and its role in lying, with Cass explaining how the brain becomes desensitized to repeated lying. Lastly, they used the midlife crisis as a metaphor for the loss of color in one's perception of life and suggested that taking breaks can help prevent this. #habituation #happinesshacks #dishabituation #brainhealth #attentiontraining #perception #cognitivebias #criticalthinking #fakenews #neuroplasticity #rewireyourbrain #cassunstein Key Takeaways:  1:00 Habituations, hedonic adjustments and gratitude 4:41 Keeping us grateful for what we have 7:08  Survival mechanism 9:13 Reticular activating system and the amygdala 12:30 Illusory truth effect 15:24  Midlife crisis  18:12 Seeing more "colors" in life 20:00 Vacation: 43 hours in is the high point   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
