Lezione 1
What Is Destination Addiction?
Destination addiction is the belief that happiness is in the next place, job, or partner. This lesson explores how this mindset leads to perpetual dissatisfaction and stress, and how it connects to our brain's reward system, creating a cycle of endless seeking and unfulfillment.
