Why You Keep Sabotaging the Life You Swear You Want and How to Stop
For self-aware adults, trauma survivors, and anyone exhausted by constant struggle—“The Addiction to Struggle” offers a radical path to ease that doesn’t require abandoning ambition or grit.
You’re not broken. You’ve just been wired to trust hardship more than peace.
Author Sallie Baugh—Editor in Chief at BrainSpeak.com with decades of experience in brain-mind reprogramming—reveals how we unconsciously bond with struggle, reward ourselves through suffering, and sabotage success the moment it arrives.
This isn’t just psychological—it’s chemical.
The brain gets hooked on the cocktail of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, while also chasing the feel-good hit of dopamine released during moments of drama, overachievement, or chaos—creating a neurochemical addiction to struggle that feels “normal” even when it’s destructive.
Over time, peace can feel boring, even unsafe—because your brain has been conditioned to crave the chaos.
This book isn’t about avoiding effort. It’s about ending the compulsive need for chaos, drama, or exhaustion to feel “worthy.”
You’ll discover how to...
• Spot hidden patterns that tie your worth to pain—and the surprising ways they show up in health, money, and relationships
