Nobody (least of all myself) wants to admit what they grab first at morning’s light. Nor how much of a lie ‘just one more scroll is.’
Addiction is often framed as life-altering conditions that saddle us with cascading effects, yet we brush off the things that seem small. They aren’t. True to its title, this book explores the micro-compulsions we don’t think qualify as problems.
And yet what might become a treatise or a chance for the author to put herself on a pedestal turns into a sharp, research-backed, and delightful exploration. A compassionate framing, rather than yet another thing to feel guilty about later.
Honest, warm, and actionable: rare things for a self-help book to be at once.
