In this episode, Kurt Shaye and I talk about some of the concepts he shares in his book, The Addiction Fiction. Kurt challenges mainstream thinking, nudging us toward a deeper truth that abolishes our old, outdated narratives, which keep us locked in a disempowered place.

The Addiction Fiction by Kurt Shaye is an unflinching exploration of the human desire to cling—whether to substances, relationships, or identities that promise comfort but ultimately trap us. Through a narrative that blends raw personal experience with sharp philosophical inquiry, Shaye dismantles the conventional narrative of addiction, arguing that what we call "addiction" is often a euphemism for attachment. Drawing from his personal experiences with various substances, he explores how they evolved in his life—from initial escapes to reflective mirrors, and ultimately as catalysts for personal growth.
