Episode 2104: Dr. Jenny Brockis explores how the same brain mechanisms that drive other behavioral addictions can turn work into an unhealthy obsession, especially in our hyperconnected world. She explains the warning signs of work addiction and shares four cornerstone habits that help restore balance, improve brain performance, and protect long-term wellbeing. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drjennybrockis.com/2017/5/22/are-you-addicted-to-work/ Quotes to ponder: "The nature of addiction revolves around how the brain perceives pleasure." "What’s not so fine is when the motivation becomes so compelling that we lose sight of how much is enough, and when to stop." "Ironically working too hard is counterproductive to obtaining our goals, because it is the fast track to exhaustion, burnout and an increased risk of mental illness."
