What are you addicted to? We often think of addiction as only involving drugs or alcohol. The reality is that most people have some type of addiction whether it's to their smart phone, love, food or something else. Our brains are designed to make us addicted, and there are things we can do to better understand how this works and overcome these addictive habits. 

Understanding how the addicted brain works helps you have more empathy to those who have a drug or alcohol addiction as well.
