So much research and personal experience went into this book. It’s truly changed my perspective on life

Great book with many great story examples. It’s an easy read with great information

The book is very well written with loads of examples and stories of people who have faced different kinds of addictions. It provides you actionable things to inculcate in your life and lead a better life. Even if you’re addicted to anything small, this book is worth the read as it explains a lot of processes of how pleasure and pain work in our complex human brain.

Through the stories others, the author conveys a clear message of the habit to get hooked to what we find stimulating. It’s an easy read for those without background in psychology or biology. The book talks about why addiction happens (substance abuse or video games, etc) and what can we do to prevent it to lead a better live. The stories give hope and possibility. Absolutely brilliant.

Great book for self discovery. Probably should reread periodically to keep insights fresh.

Anna does a great job at choosing how to present her patient’s stories and how they can relate back to our own life’s and choices. I believe we all deal with some amount of over-consumption, so I do think this would be a good read for anybody!

Easy to read and let you think deeply about ourselves and the society we live today

A wonderful read to start of the new year in anticipation of transforming bad habits to good ones this book gave me all the tools I was looking for.

This book is great for anyone dealing with basic everyday addictions. Whether video games or even binge watching. This book goes into detail about the balance between pain and pleasure.

The book has a variety of stories told by the author can be relatable to some degree for some. There is biological explanations of dopamine with great analogy for the reader to follow along. I wish there other forms of addiction discussed in this book that is more abstract such as thoughts or a person.
