It seems that Americans have grown obsessed with the rich and famous who appear to have it all yet can't resist the lure of self-destructive excesses. In this podcast, hear prominent addiction and behavioral specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky and co-author Dr. S. Mark Young discuss their new book, The Mirror Effect: How Celebrity Narcissism is Seducing America, and offer an eye-opening look at our celebrity-crazed culture--from what drives people to seek fame in the first place to how our obsession with celebrity is changing the emotional landscape of America. This program at the Skirball was presented in association with Book Soup.
