I am a 41M, married, w two young kids. I got sober this year after seeing the benefits during Dry January. One of the ways I was able to quit, was by reading a ton of quit-lit. Which naturally lead me to books on dopamine, perfectionism, adhd, etc.
I’m looking for books about anti consumption, financial consumerism , but really all forms. After reading Dopamine Nation, I started to really see myself for the rat in a cage that I am, always slamming the lever for another hit of something that will give me a hit: booze, social media, online shopping, high fructose corn syrup, endless scroll, endless buying, errand running.
Audiobook format preferred.
Thanks in advance
