Thrive Perspectives: What Makes Us Click?

What makes us click?Why do we find ourselves drawn to posts that make our blood boil? Is it outrage—or is it something deeper, something in us that craves the rush of being provoked?When you scroll past that headline designed to enrage, do you pause… or do you dive in?
