What do you actually want? And where does that feeling come from? Is desire something to trust, something to control, or something that controls you? And when does a simple want turn into something harder to resist… or harder to understand?

In this deep and thought-provoking discussion, led by David Ammerschlaeger, we’ll explore the psychology of desire in all its complexity. We’ll look at what desire really is, how it manifests in everyday life, and where the line sits between healthy needs and unhealthy patterns. Is desire, as some philosophies suggest, the root of suffering? Or is it essential to happiness and meaning? From food and sex to shopping and screen addiction, we’ll examine how desire can quietly evolve into compulsion, and what that reveals about the mind beneath it. Expect a conversation that is intellectually sharp, psychologically rich, and deeply personal, one that challenges how you think about what you want, and why.

你真正想要的是什么？这种“想要”的感觉又是从哪里来的？欲望是该相信、该控制，还是其实它在控制你？一个简单的“想要”，是从什么时候开始变得难以抗拒，甚至让人搞不太懂？

在这场深入又很有思考空间的讨论中，由David Ammerschlaeger带领，我们会一起拆解欲望背后的心理机制。欲望到底是什么？它在日常生活中是怎么出现的？健康需求和不太健康的模式之间的界限在哪里？有些哲学认为欲望是痛苦的来源，这个说法靠谱吗？还是说，欲望其实是让人获得快乐和意义的一部分？

从吃东西、性、消费，到刷手机停不下来，我们会一起看看欲望是怎么在不知不觉中演变成一种“停不下来的冲动”，以及这背后反映了怎样的心理状态。这会是一场既有思考深度、又很贴近个人体验的讨论，让你重新审视自己“想要什么”，以及“为什么会想要”。
