Shlomo HaMelech describes, according to the Gra, the purpose of life: to break our bad character traits we are yet to break. If not- ‘why is one living’?

We spoke about modern suggestions of breaking habits and the nature of addiction in the brain. We also discussed the paradox of how having more choice leads to making less choices.
