“Recounting our experiences gives us mastery over them. Whether in the
context of psychotherapy, talking to an AA sponsor, confessing to a
priest, confiding in a friend, or writing in a journal, our honest
disclosure brings our behavior into relief, allowing us in some cases to
see it for the first time. This is especially true for behaviors that involve
a level of automaticity outside of conscious awareness.”
― Anna Lembke, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence

“A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be”
― Abraham Maslow

“We enjoy being outraged. We respond to it as a reward.”
― Max Fisher, The Chaos Machine: The Inside Story of How Social Media Rewired Our Minds and Our World

“What if, instead of seeking oblivion by escaping from the world, we
turn toward it? What if instead of leaving the world behind, we
immerse ourselves in it?”
― Anna Lembke, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence
