Show notes

In this episode, Dr. K unpacks why so many of us cycle through hyper-expensive hobbies every two weeks, investing heavily in new gear only to quickly lose interest and move on. He explains the neurobiology of the "addictive personality", detailing how our brains process impulses, and how ancient teachings from the Buddha can help us break the cycle of constant excitement and disappointment.
