An interesting exploration of why we fall into self-destructive habits and how we can attempt to overcome them. I was especially interested to learn about slot machines and how they have been fine-tuned over the years to be as addictive as possible. I struggle to give it more than 3.5 stars due to a lack of tangible takeaways, although that is perhaps the point considering the latter part of the book, which focuses on monks who all have their own, personal reason for living at a monastery and how, in turn, each of us must find our own way of getting meaning from life.
Boring and directionless. Nothing to do with scarcity, just the habit loop dressed up to look different.
A lot of really interesting food for thought but I feel like there were some sections where the science felt really questionable
