Description
The Craving Mind: From Cigarettes to Smartphones to Love--why We Get Hooked and how We Can Break Bad Habits
By Judson Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, this book explores the mechanisms of habit and addiction formation, and how mindfulness can interrupt these habits.
Brewer reveals how we can tap into the processes that encourage addictive behaviors, and how to move beyond cravings, reduce stress, and ultimately live a fuller life, using patient stories, his own experience with mindfulness practice, and current scientific findings.
