I loved the story about “Rat Park” in this video. It may show that when people have adequate variety in their lives, other kinds of dysfunctional things might happen less. I also like when he talks about the idea that we’ve traded stuff and space for friends and connections. And, that we need to cure addictions at the social level, not just the individual level. Perhaps valuing, allowing, seeking and managing variety in our lives might be part of that.
