The Power of Habituation in Daily Life
Habituation is a phenomenon discussed in the podcast, where individuals become desensitized to stimuli over time. Examples like swimming in cold water and adjusting to it or living in a place once vibrant but seen as mundane illustrate habituation's presence in everyday life. The concept applies to relationships, societal issues like living under authoritarianism, and extends to habits in animals, emphasizing how habituation impacts various aspects of our daily experiences.
