The problems of success arise from societal abundance, leading to addictions that reflect our ease in survival, like social media addiction and compulsive behaviors.
David Courtwright coins the term "limbic capitalism" to describe how industries exploit our emotional responses, creating environments that encourage overconsumption and addiction.
Despite efforts to regulate harmful vices like nicotine and alcohol, new addictive behaviors like gaming and compulsive eating are on the rise, reflecting a changing landscape.
Modern addictions surface partly because society has shifted away from life-or-death challenges to a state of excess, prompting a severe reliance on addictive products.
