According to our guest today, the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain. And this isn't hyperbole, it's science. Hey, friends. Thanks for joining me this week for episode 277 where today, we're joined by Dr. Anna Lembke, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.
