When we realize the essential goal of mindfulness is to allow us to be in control of our responses to things, how do we make that happen?
What if everything you thought you knew about addiction was turned on its head? In this compelling episode, Dr. Stanton Peele offers a unique response to Judson Brewer's popular TED Talk on mindfulness and addiction. Peele doesn't just critique the traditional brain model of addiction; he dismantles it, suggesting that addiction is more about a temporary obsession with certain experiences than a chemical dependency. This perspective shifts the focus from substances to the way we interact with life itself. Dr.
Peele also delves into the societal factors that contribute to addiction, emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility in overcoming it. While he acknowledges the benefits of mindfulness, he argues that it alone isn't enough to tackle the complexities of addiction. Instead, he proposes a more holistic approach that views addiction as a manageable part of our lived experience. If you're looking for a fresh and transformative perspective on addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
