We’re all addicts, according to Dr. Jud. Consider our everyday habits—scrolling through Instagram, stress-eating, sugar, more sugar. Our habits, Dr. Jud says, run our lives. And we get fooled into thinking we need just a little more willpower to make a change, quit smoking, drop an addiction. But willpower is finite and often not enough. Which is why Dr. Jud is using research-based mindfulness techniques to help people understand and overcome their cravings. Part of this work is learning to bring curiosity to the roots of your cravings—and compassion to yourself.
