If you could get a kiss from your favorite celebrity, how long would you want to wait before receiving it? And why do things seem less meaningful or joyful over time than they were at the beginning? What does any of this have to do with Netflix releasing all the episodes of a new show at once, or why companies come out with new and improved products every year, or why French revolutionaries wanted to make a week five days long instead of seven? Join Eagleman and cognitive neuroscientist Tali Sharot to find out why everything dulls with time and what we can do to recover the shine.
