Stanford Psychiatrist: “moving Videos Are Drugs”

Dr. Anna Lembke, Stanford psychiatrist and bestselling author of Dopamine Nation, joins Scott Galloway to discuss our dependence on validation – and why achievement doesn’t always make us feel better about ourselves.

Drawing on her new book, Radical Surrender, she explains how to recognize addictive behavior, when parenting becomes enabling, and why letting go of control can help us build more meaningful lives. Plus, Scott opens up about the personal cost of trying to impress strangers.
