Addiction To Our Minds with Noah Levine

September 22, 2025

Tonight, I'm talking about addiction to our minds. The term "addiction" is often used casually—people say they're addicted to things like exercise or meditation. But for those who've experienced substance or process addiction, it's a much deeper issue. My definition of addiction is: it's the repeated habit of satisfying cravings to avoid, change, or control the uncomfortable reality of the present moment.

Are you addicted to your mind? How addicted to your mind are you?
