Joe Desena argues everyone is addicted to something, usually comfort. Better to be addicted to work or exercise than drugs or overeating. He admits his own addiction is work, a choice he made consciously.
So the way I think about it is we're all addicted to something. Most of us are addicted to comfort. Most of us. And I just look at it and say, if we're all addicted to something, let's make sure that something is more healthy than the other thing. So, you know, if you go all in because of your childhood issues into drinking or drugs or, you know, you name it. I would say that's an unhealth— eating unhealthy class. If you're taking that energy, those issues, and you're running, maybe you're overrunning, maybe you're running 15 miles every day, 7 days a week, and you're like, it's probably too much, but I'd rather have that than the other, right? So, so I accept that we're all addicted to something, and I think I can draw the line on what's healthy and what's not. I'm definitely addicted to work.
