About this listen

Why do you feel broke even when you earn well? Why does that brief high from buying something new always vanish by tomorrow? The Consumption Addict uncovers the hidden forces driving your spending habits—and why most people are trapped in a cycle of dopamine hits, lifestyle inflation, and financial stagnation.

In this brutally honest and eye-opening book, the author dissects the psychology of consumerism with clinical precision and a dry wit that cuts through the noise. Backed by neuroscience and behavioral economics, Southerland reveals how modern shopping exploits your brain’s reward system the same way slot machines and social media do. You’ll learn how marketing, convenience tech, influencer culture, and even your own boredom have been weaponized to keep you spending without thinking.

This isn’t a book about budgeting. It’s about breaking addiction. You’ll learn why more stuff never satisfies, how small daily splurges sabotage long-term goals, and what it takes to reclaim your time, attention, and money. With 30 concise, no-fluff chapters, The Consumption Addict will help you unplug from the algorithm, stop mistaking dopamine for happiness, and start designing a life that feels rich—even if it looks boring from the outside.

Whether you’re drowning in Amazon packages, buried under buy-now-pay-later debt, or just tired of chasing the next thing, this book offers a way out: not through deprivation, but through clarity and control.

Own your choices. Own your money. Own your life.
