Overconsumption.
We're all trapped in it.
Whether it's social media, sugar, coffee, movies, physical exercise, or chemical substances—overconsumption comes in many forms and shapes.
We're addicted to pleasure.
Or pain.
And this book explains how to deal with that.
The first step is abstinence. It helps to reset your brain and find joy in simpler, maybe even repetitive tasks.
Then more complicated steps follow, but the key is to learn to embrace reality instead of escaping from it.
Because that's what overconsumption ultimately boils down to: Escaping the world.
The author tells countless stories of her patients to highlight that the only way out is in. When you mindfully immerse yourself in reality, no escape is necessary.
Are you escaping from the world as well?
