Is revenge just a natural reaction—or could it be an actual addiction? In this compelling segment, Watchdog on Wall Street explores The World's Deadliest Addiction by James Kimmel, a former lawyer turned Yale psychiatry lecturer, who reveals how the urge to get even can hijack the brain like a narcotic. Drawing from cutting-edge neuroscience, prison reform programs, and personal experience, the discussion dives into how revenge lights up the same pleasure centers as drugs—and why forgiveness may be the brain’s best antidote. From dopamine hits to ancient wisdom, it’s a thought-provoking journey through psychology, pain, and healing in a culture that often celebrates payback. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
