Tired of constantly craving what you don't have instead of being satisfied with what you do? Scarcity Brain author Michael Easter is here to help!
What We Discuss with Michael Easter:
- What is the scarcity brain that helped humans evolve to run the planet, and how does it work against us in the context of the modern world?
- How the scarcity loop operates like a "serial killer" of motivation to push us into repeat behaviors that can be fun in the short term, but have the potential to harm us in the long term.
- What causes us to manufacture the scarcity loops that can ruin our lives with minimal prompting — and what can pigeons teach us about how the scarcity brain processes gambling?
- How we can break these scarcity loops when they're so entrenched in every aspect of our behavior.
- How scarcity loops can be gamed for positive benefit.
- And much more...

great show, I see these loops in my life and now at least I can try to address them. But I can't get this earworm out of my head, "If you need to know, call the f***ing Vatican "
been listening to your show for around 2 years, and this felt like a top 5 episode. phenomenally interesting guest. this is essential listening for people of all ages, to sift through the everyday garbage we get thrown at us relentlessly and whats important.
