书籍介绍
We are all vulnerable to addiction. Whether it’s a compulsion to constantly check social media, binge eating, smoking, excessive drinking, or any other behaviors, we may find ourselves uncontrollably repeating. Why are bad habits so hard to overcome? Is there a key to conquering the cravings we know are unhealthy for us?
This book provides groundbreaking answers to the most important questions about addiction. Judson Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has studied the science of addictions for twenty years, reveals how we can tap into the very processes that encourage addictive behaviors in order to step out of them. He describes the mechanisms of habit and addiction formation, then explains how the practice of mindfulness can interrupt these habits. Weaving together patient stories, his own experience with mindfulness practice, and current scientific findings from his own lab and others, Brewer offers a path for moving beyond our cravings, reducing stress, and ultimately living a fuller life.

黄婆卖瓜有点多了。其他该说的点都有说到，但文笔很普通，限于网络 pop science 的水准。
1 trigger behavior reward—repeat，2不带批判地关注当下的感受
喜欢讲addtive to love的部分 可能最relevant吧🌚
「有声书」感觉就是推销他mindfulness课程的书。。。略感失望。当然，如果用正能量的眼光审视，这书还是提供了一些成瘾性机理以及对抗各种瘾的一些general的办法。
补标，去年夏天听完的。
Audible plus里听到的，挺有趣，与buddhism和meditation的结合也蛮refreshing的。Habit loop built on reward-based learning在不注意的时候就会控制人的行动，很认同也很难打破。Loving kindness也是很有意思的点。
[有声书] 内容很丰富，甚至到了太杂的程度… 主要是讲上瘾是如何产生的，核心理论在于trigger -> behavior -> reward (-> loop)，用来解释刷社交网络确实很在点呢！作者提供的解决方案是训练mindfulness，听起来值得一试！我最大的收获是要如何把“自我”看淡：不仅仅是老生常谈的不要太在意别人的看法，更是在一些日常交往中，如何不让自己的想法、自己的感受成为中心（比如常说的共情empathy，最后容易把自己带入，反而忽略了需要我们同情compassion的对方；又比如对方向你讲述TA的小进步/成就，你反而把聚焦点打回到自己身上 - 我也只有在和极少数人的交往中能体会到对方真切的关心，也觉得这是相当难做到的一点）。估计我就需要去训练mindfulness吧哈哈！
