    If fame has addictive properties that mirror substance abuse, why would we hook a child to a “drug” that remaps their brain chemistry and alters their development forever? Alyson guides you through the psychological experience of experiencing fame firsthand as well as key elements that create a fame-obsessed culture, including the illusion of separation, parasocial relationships, and mass psychological projections.
