Addiction by Design👍 Recommends
…reference to scholarly book examining design of addictive gambling machines
“There's a tremendous book, Addiction by Design. And I'm afraid I'm going to mispronounce the name of the person who wrote it. I think it's Shull, but I'm not sure, but I know the title, Addiction by Design, about gambling. And she profiles people who play video poker, many of whom work in the casino.”

The Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous)👍 Recommends
…reference to AA's foundational text using stories for connection and recovery
“If you read, you know, it's called The Big Book. It's actually just a clock. It was called The Big Book because it was printed on cheap paper. So it was sort of fat and pulpy. This was back in the Depression. Right. It says flat out this book is mostly stories and we tell stories in the hopes that something in them will catch you and say, gosh, that life is like mine.”
