Why Do We Crave Novelty? The Psychology and Philosophy of Newness.

Why are we so drawn to novelty? Whether it’s trying a new hobby, exploring a new place, or scrolling endlessly for the next exciting thing, our craving for the new seems insatiable. In this video, I dive into the psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of novelty to explore why we chase it, how it impacts our minds, and what it really means for our lives. I’ll uncover the role of dopamine and the brain’s reward system, explain the hedonic treadmill, and discuss how philosophers like Immanuel Kant, Søren Kierkegaard, and Arthur Schopenhauer viewed novelty—both its allure and its pitfalls. We’ll also explore how modern technology and social media amplify our craving for newness, sometimes to our detriment. Join me as we uncover the paradox of novelty: how it enriches our lives, yet can also leave us overstimulated or distracted. More importantly, I’ll share insights on how to make novelty meaningful, helping us embrace it as a tool for growth rather than a fleeting thrill.
