The Secret Behind Your Addiction: Why You Feel Things Normal People Don’t | Carl Jung

In this powerful 34-minute Carl Jung–inspired speech, we explore the hidden psychological and spiritual roots of addiction—and why certain people feel emotions with an intensity that “normal” people simply can’t understand.
