The Friday Dose #74

Today’s Dose is all about addiction. Or might it be better described as repetitive action? I’ve said for decades: it is more like an animal pacing frenetically in a claustrophobic zoo than it is a disease. I’ve written about it and the intersection with neuroplasticity for years. And while there still isn’t enough focus on thought, increasingly the general view is in fact shifting toward this more logical, organic and historically successful approach. Attached below is a link to Laura Miller’s Salon article on a neuroscientist who shares some of my views:

And I’ll leave you with the wise words of Dr. Gabor Mate:
