An interesting article on Huff Post regarding
how money affects our well-being.
It is a indeed a dilemma that many people spend so much of their time and
energy on amassing money or wealth that it becomes almost an obsession. I am
included in that bunch. But anecdotally there does seem to be little connection
between happiness and wealth. Many of us have a lot in terms of stuff, but are
increasingly more anxious, stressed, unhappy, angry as we strive everyday to get more.
It seems
the attachment to money just like food or sex is a “process addiction.” Unlike
a chemical addiction that interacts with the body’s internal mechanisms (like
alcohol or nicotine), addictive behaviors impact the brain by stimulating a
dopamine surge that also can cause you to want more and more even to your detriment.
So how do you get out of this cycle of process addiction? That’s the $64
million question I guess! Stay tuned for more....
