This week, Adam leads our discussion of Chapters 3-5 from Scarcity Brain by Michael Easter.

  • Chapter 4: “What We Crave More” - Why do we overlook subtraction as a way to change things or make improvements? (20:51 - 34:40)
  • Chapter 5: “Escape” - What did you all think about the brain disease model of addiction versus the environmental role of addiction? (34:51 - 58:07)
