From food and stuff to information and influence, why can't we ever get enough?Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis and one of the world's leading experts on behavior change, shows that the problem isn't you. The problem is the scarcity loop, left over from our ancient ancestors, who had to constantly seek and consume to survive. For the scarcity loop to work, you need three things: opportunity, unpredictable rewards and quick repeatability. New technology and institutions - from dating and entertainment apps to our food and economic systems - are exploiting the scarcity loop, leading to us all developing "scarcity brain". We're bombarded with subversive "scarcity cues," subtle triggers that lead us into low-reward cravings that hurt us in the long run. Scarcity cues can be direct and all-encompassing, like a sagging economy. Or they can be subtle and slight, like our neighbour buying a shiny new car.Easter traveled the world to consult with remarkable innovators and leading scientists who are finding surprising solutions for our scarcity brain. He discovered simple tactics that can move us towards an abundance mindset, cement healthy habits, and allow us to live our lives to the fullest and appreciate what we have, including how to: - Detect hidden scarcity cues to stop cravings before they start, from a brilliant slot machine designer in a Las Vegas casino laboratory- Turn alone time into the ultimate happiness hack, from artisanal coffee-making Benedictine monks Reignite your exploration gene for a more exciting and fulfilling life, from an astronaut onboard the International Space Station- Reframe how we think about and fix addiction and bad habits, from Iraq's chief psychiatrist- Recognize when you have enough, from a woman who left a million-dollar career path to adventure the worldOur world is overloaded with everything we're built to crave. The fix for scarcity brain isn't to blindly aim for less. It's to understand why we crave more in the first place, shake our worst habits, and use what we already have better. Then we can experience life in a new, and more satisfying way.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Michael EasterGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Personal Development, Medicine, BiographyItem Width: 28mmItem Weight: 520gRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
