Скачать или смотреть Digital Double Edge - Addiction, Recovery, and the Crisis of Connection in the Algorithm Age

Why is everyone addicted to something?
​Is it a moral failing?
A lack of willpower?
Or are we living in a system designed to make us addicts?

​This conversation goes far beyond the surface to reveal the shocking truth about addiction and recovery in the modern age.
We explore the powerful paradox of the internet: the very platform that can become the addiction is also our greatest tool for connection and healing.
​Join us as we dismantle the myths of addiction by exploring the groundbreaking work of the world's leading thinkers:
​- Johan Hari: Why the opposite of addiction isn't sobriety... it's connection.
​- Dr. Gabor Maté: The single, powerful question that changes everything: "Not why the addiction, but why the pain?"
​- Dr. Brené Brown: How shame becomes the primary driver of addictive behavior and isolation.
​- Dr. Anna Lembke: The neuroscience of your brain's "pleasure-pain balance" and how it gets hijacked by everything from drugs to your smartphone.

​We also investigate the "War on Drugs," the devastating impact of the opioid crisis, and the shocking concept of "Limbic Capitalism"—the economic model that profits from engineering addiction into products.

​From alcohol and opioids to gambling, gaming, and social media, this is the definitive guide to understanding the crisis of our time.
Most importantly, it's a map to the solution: a path back to healing, hope, and real human connection.
