The Link Between Addiction and Connection
Johann Hari discusses the connection between addiction and connection. He explains that addiction is not solely caused by the chemical hooks in drugs, but by a lack of meaningful connections and a sense of belonging. Hari cites the famous Rat Park experiment, which showed that rats in a stimulating and social environment did not develop addiction despite being exposed to drugs. He emphasizes that the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but rather connection.
