About this listen
Addiction didn’t start with heroin. It started with wine, ritual, and dopamine.
From sacred ceremony to cigarette ads, from opioid pills to infinite scroll, Addiction: The Habit That Runs the World traces the full timeline of how craving became a system and how that system became modern life.
This is not a recovery memoir. This is not a clinical manual. This is a walk through the architecture of addiction. How it was built, scaled, sold, and normalized.
From the opium wars and plantation sugar to vaping teens and dopamine apps, this book shows how every empire found its fix, and how every generation got hooked.
Because addiction isn’t a personal failure. It’s a business model.
