Why is saying “no” so impossible for someone struggling with addiction? And why is addiction "perfectly logical" to an addict? In our very first episode, we welcome the legendary Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman, bestselling author of The Molecule of More, to uncover the neuroscience behind addiction, the vital role that dopamine plays and why it’s never simply a matter of choice. It's impossible to understand addiction without understanding dopamine, and this life-changing conversation will transform how you see your mind, your past, and your recovery journey. From why willpower alone isn’t enough, to how to rewire your brain and rediscover joy in life’s small moments, this chat will give you the most essential tool of all: self-compassion.
