The likely cause of addiction is not what you think



Professor Peter Cohen argues that human beings have a deep need to bond and form connections.
It’s how we get our satisfaction.
If we can’t connect with each other, we will connect with anything we can find — the whirr of a roulette wheel or the prick of a syringe.
He says we should stop talking about ‘addiction’ altogether, and instead call it ‘bonding.’
