Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee
Embrace Authenticity to Overcome Addictions
Society often imposes hierarchical values on addictions, deeming some acceptable while others are condemned, leading individuals to deny their true humanity. This acceptance of certain addictions, like consumption and social media, alongside the rejection of others, highlights a cultural disconnect. Values prevalent in society can undermine physical, mental, and emotional health, suggesting that struggles individuals face may stem more from societal pressures than personal failure. The expectation to conform to external standards often forces people to become versions of themselves that are not authentic, risking rejection if they reveal their true selves. Recognizing these dynamics can empower individuals to reclaim their authenticity and address their struggles constructively.
