Publisher's Summary
We are all vulnerable to addiction. Whether it's a compulsion to constantly check social media, binge eating, smoking, excessive drinking, or any other behaviors, we may find ourselves uncontrollably repeating. Why are bad habits so hard to overcome? Is there a key to conquering the cravings we know are unhealthy for us?
This book provides groundbreaking answers to the most important questions about addiction. Dr. Judson Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has studied the science of addictions for 20 years, reveals how we can tap into the very processes that encourage addictive behaviors in order to step out of them. He describes the mechanisms of habit and addiction formation, then explains how the practice of mindfulness can interrupt these habits.
Weaving together patient stories, his own experience with mindfulness practice, and current scientific findings from his own lab and others, Dr. Brewer offers a path for moving beyond our cravings, reducing stress, and ultimately living a fuller life.

Easy to understand
I liked the content a lot - occasionally I found myself dozing off. The merging of eastern and western science is fascinating

Interesting book. Not so well narrated
The narrator paces his words unnaturally at times. Every word is clearly stated. As if each one has equal amount of importance. But that's never the case with language, is it? The author has written a few sentences conversationally, but they are said as if delivering a scientific fact. with equal stress on each word. But the book itself is quite interesting and informative.
