About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Listen now to get the main key ideas from Michael Easter's Scarcity Brain.
Scarcity forced our ancestors to chase after and hoard resources. This kept our species alive, but our ingrained evolutionary cravings can lead to addiction and overconsumption amid the abundance that many societies enjoy today. In Scarcity Brain (2023), science writer Michael Easter explores human behaviors that stem from feelings of scarcity. Many aspects of modern life, from slot machines to social media and the food industry, exploit our scarcity brain. However, today’s humans also have the ability to counter these cravings. Easter offers tactics to help us move towards an abundance mindset and foster healthy habits for meaningful living.
