Lebanese Joy Starts with a Button
The article discusses the easy phenomenon of online shopping and its impact on Lebanese people. Psychological specialist Maya Dabbouk explains that the act of purchasing stimulates the release of dopamine, which provides a temporary feeling of happiness, but this feeling does not last. This often leads some individuals to repeat the behavior or even develop an addiction to shopping. She clarifies that making shopping easier from home gives a sense of control and comfort, but many purchases are unnecessary and result in regret afterward. She also distinguishes between needs and wants, emphasizing that wants tend to repeat themselves and lead to an endless consumerist cycle. Dabbouk points out that the true cost of shopping is the loss of happiness caused by a simple click, which only lasts for a few minutes.
