I thought this was a helpful book about an interesting phenomenon that I see in my own life. It could probably have just been a long article though and I’m not sure I needed the full book to understand the key points.

I quite enjoyed this book, it starts off very engaging, asking questions to get you thinking in more ways than one. I found that this book speaks to you, not at you, and tells you useful information through a story rather than just stating facts. Each section starts with a quote and there’s lots of real life examples which kept me interested throughout. Whilst I wouldn’t read the book again, I’d recommend it to a friend.

I went in very interested in the concept of this book, and it was an interesting read. However I did struggle with the writing style, I felt it jumped around a lot, and felt a bit disjointed which did lower my enjoyment a little.

I really did not enjoy this book.
I struggled with Sharot's writing style, and the actual purpose of this book. What was it trying to do?
It just had so much waffle!
Just didn't get anything from this! Not for me!

This book is very well researched and makes ideas from psychology very easy to read. It would be nice if it included clearer practical advice for how to overcome some of the ways that our brain habituates.

Really interesting and useful book which covers many of things needed to help us move forward positively in life. I enjoyed this book and found it easy to read and digest.

Look Again : The Power of Noticing What was Always There. This is an interesting book full of studies, facts, figures and information. I would have preferred it to be more practical rather than all theoretical. I would be more interested in ideas for breaking habitual behaviour and introducing change. I was hooked at first but felt it got a little bit less interesting as I read on (habituated ideas ?). It raises good points and is a good starting point for more adventures both practical and theoretical.

A really interesting book about the theories and history around habituation. Written in an engaging and accessible way.
