The qualities that make someone an addict are those that make someone a genius or superstar. Anyone who's ever done anything significant has been overfocused, obsessive, and relentless about their pursuits. Do you think Steve Jobs, Ben Franklin, or Nikola were "balanced" individuals? Of course not. They were 100% addicted! To do great things in this world, you have to be addicted. Addiction isn't a disease or moral failing; It's just a misdirected superpower.

This episode offers various perspectives on addiction and strategies to redirect addictive personalities toward more positive goals. Amber argues against pathologizing addiction as a disease and instead focus on redirecting the energy and focus of addictive personalities toward success. Amber encourages embracing one's addictive personality and using it as a power to achieving goals, emphasizing the importance of controlling dopamine's influence and direction towards more productive and positive activities. Additionally, Amber offers advice on tactics such as setting boundaries, finding and nurturing friendships, breaking habits and routines, and being honest about overcoming addiction.
