Living a Wholehearted Life-Transforming the Shame & Addiction Narrative | Paul Randak | TEDxRiverton

Addiction is a human condition, a condition that most, if not all people will experience at some point in their lifetime. Addiction can be summed up as a bond, an obsessive and compulsive bond that forms with a person, place, belief or thing. Addiction to a substance is often easier to see, but addition or obsession to an irrational belief or black and white thinking that results in a loss of objectivity is more difficult.
