Instant gratification will give you A Good Years of highs, maximum highs. Yea, you'll pickle your brain and your heart, and your liver and your lungs, and you'll die an early death. But, fuck me, it's better than doing stuff.
Ever wondered how the quest for quick rewards might be messing with your life? Comedian David Boyle has some thoughts. In Episode 50 of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle takes a humorous yet insightful look at the dangers of instant gratification.

Boyle doesn't just stop at the health impacts; he dives into how this mindset can sabotage your future by making you opt for the easy way out rather than pushing through challenges. Boyle's analogies are as colorful as ever. He compares the fleeting joy of instant gratification to lounging on a beach in the Bahamas, while the satisfaction of hard work is like conducting scientific research in the freezing North Pole.
It's a stark contrast that makes you think twice about your choices. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Boyle also shares his personal battles with technology and how it can be a productivity killer. From his struggles with iTunes to his thoughts on Steve Jobs' decisions, he offers a relatable take on how tech can sometimes do more harm than good.
