Summary

Behavioral Addictions explores the hidden side of everyday behaviors like shopping, internet use, and work, revealing how they can transform into destructive compulsions. Unlike substance addictions, these behavioral patterns often lack obvious physical signs, making them especially challenging to recognize and address. The book emphasizes the shared psychological and neurological roots between behavioral and substance addictions, highlighting similar patterns of reward-seeking and loss of control. It examines how societal pressures, such as consumerism and digital connectivity, contribute to these compulsions, providing a comprehensive understanding of these increasingly prevalent issues.

 
The book progresses systematically, first defining core concepts like impulse control disorders and the addiction cycle. It then delves into specific behaviors, such as shopping addiction, internet addiction, and workaholism, examining their triggers, consequences, and strategies for change. By integrating clinical studies, neuroimaging research, and personal accounts, Behavioral Addictions offers a unique and integrated perspective.

 
It culminates in an integrated model for addressing these issues, equipping readers with practical strategies and resources for self-assessment and positive change.

    A spine-tingling exploration of a venture as ancient as the pyramids themselves. 
 
 
  
To secure a comfortable afterlife, ancient Egyptians built fortress-like tombs and filled them with precious goods, a practice that generated staggering quantities of artifacts over the course of many millennia—and also one that has drawn thieves and tomb-raiders to Egypt since antiquity. Drawing on modern scholarship, reportage, and period sources, this book tracks the history of treasure-seekers in Egypt and the social contexts in which they operated, revealing striking continuities throughout time. Listeners will recognize the foibles of today's politicians and con artists, the perils of materialism, and the cycles of public compliance and dissent in the face of injustice. In describing an age-old pursuit and its timeless motivations, A Short History of Tomb-Raiding shows how much we have in common with our Bronze Age ancestors.
