Welcome to today's podcast! I had the great pleasure to talk with Harvard's Dr. David Eddie about addictions- why they're on the rise, what we can do about it and what role spirituality plays in the 21st century's existential crisis. We're talking about stories of mine, when I struggled with my life and also how David managed to keep on going in his darker times. This conversation was a really deep one and I enjoyed every second of it. I think David is an amazing human being who brings more light into this world, making it a better place, helping others bearing the suffering of human existence and solving their deepest problems. Thank you everyone for listening to our conversations and for all the love you're spreading around this world. It is time to live again and your impact is much greater than you think. Share this podcast if you like it and leave a comment what you think about. Thank you and all the best.- Marco
