An exploration of how humans respond to novelty from the "New York
Times""-"bestselling author of "Rapt"
Why are we attuned to the latest headline, diet craze, smartphone,
and fashion statement? Why do we relish a change of scene, eye
attractive strangers, and develop new interests?
Follow a crawling baby around and you'll see that right from the
beginning, nothing excites us more than something new and
different. Our unique human brains are biologically primed to
engage with and even generate novelty. This "neophilia" has enabled
us to thrive in a world of cataclysmic change, but now we confront
an unprecedented deluge of new things--one that shows no sign of
slowing. In "New" acclaimed behavioral science writer Winifred
Gallagher, using cutting-edge research and interviews with
countless experts, shows us how we can use our adaptive gift to
navigate more skillfully through our rapidly changing world by
focusing on the new things that really matter.
