Why do we often return to familiar things? We discuss it on the podcast “Who Would Talk”

In the third season of the conversational podcast “Who Would Talk,” the hosts Mikhail Volnykh and Daria Bakina, together with psychologist Elena Kotova respond to letters from Lifehacker’s friends - authors of famous audio shows, bloggers and media managers.

In the next episode, we analyze an audio letter from Marina Loginova, a clinical psychologist, lecturer “Right Brain Introvert” and host of the podcast “Caution, Gestalt is Closing.” Why are we constantly drawn to revise what we have already seen? Does it hinder us from developing if we systematically return to read works, and whether it is worth helping a person who, as it seems to us, is stuck in the same films, TV series or computer games. Tune in to the episode to find out the answers to these and other questions.

08:57 - constantly returning to what we have already watched and read, or to what we once played - is it the norm or a sign of some kind of deviation?

11:53 — “Forays” into the past rather indicate that a person is deteriorating, or that he is developing?

19:02 — how to understand how much time you need to devote to repeating what you have learned?

24:08 — is it our brain’s fault that we are constantly drawn to familiar things?

27:07 — is it worth abandoning reboots and remakes of famous works, because they do not provide anything new?

28:24 - results of the conversation.
