I like the way that each chapter is a vignette with Michael Easter going to people and their experiences that personify the issue. For example, with overeating, visiting a remote tribe where no cardiovascular problems exist, or when discussing gambling, visiting the scientists involved in transforming mechanical slot machines into video-gamified ones, and how this video-gamified model has been applied to so many other areas of our lives. Readable, refreshing and helpful. Thank you, Netgalley and Rodale books, for the ARC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"255\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/scarcity.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9266\" style=\"width:377px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/scarcity.png 255w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/scarcity-197x300.png 197w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/scarcity-99x150.png 99w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 85vw, 255px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This highly readable self-help book delves into our addictive behaviors &#8212; what they are, how they originated and how to understand and ultimately overcome them.
