Scarcity Brain by Michael Easter

In this episode of Psychology for People in a Hurry, we tackle the relentless pull of addiction—not the kind we usually think of, but the everyday habits that hijack our brains. Inspired by Michael Easter’s Scarcity Brain, we explore why we crave more even when we have enough, how our ancient wiring fuels these behaviors, and most importantly, how to break free. If you’ve ever caught yourself endlessly scrolling, snacking, or shopping, this episode will change how you think about “enough.”
