Why do some people spiral into addiction while others — even with the same access — stay completely fine? In this episode of Circuit Breaker: Rewiring Your Decisions, we dive into Bruce Alexander’s groundbreaking work on addiction, namely, the famous Rat Park experiment. His research shows that addiction isn’t just about drugs — it’s about environment, connection, and purpose. Rats in isolated, barren cages became addicted, while those in enriched, social environments avoided drugs almost entirely.

Discover how social disconnection, loneliness, and lack of meaningful engagement can drive addictive behaviour — and how creating supportive, connected environments can help prevent or even reverse it. This episode will change how you think about addiction, shifting the focus from individual weakness to the power of context and human connection.
