Our brains cause us to crave many things. It might be material like a new car. It might be an experience like a vacation. It might be advancement like a promotion at work. And, of course, it might be a substance like sugar or alcohol. For too many of us, this craving can lead to addiction and we can begin to feel as though the addiction controls our very lives.

Why do we become addicted to things that are bad for us? What do all addictions have in common?  And, how can we get back in the driver’s seat in our lives and regain control over our addictions?

Fortunately, I spoke with the right guy to answer these and any other questions you’ll want answered! Dr. Judson Brewer is a world class psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and a bestselling author of several books including one we’ll draw from in this interview called The Craving Mind.  Jud earned a doctorate in medicine as well as a PhD in immunology, and he is a professor at Brown University Medical School.  He gave a TED talk with over 10 million views on how to break a bad habit and he’s developed apps to assist people in gaining control over their craving minds.

I’m confident you’ll love learning from Jud as I did on this episode as we talk about our craving minds and how to handle them.
