I would never know where I am in this book without @xicanti, which would be a shame because I'm learning a lot! It's making me think more deeply about learning and cognition issues and making me think about my own struggles with attention, memory, and addictive behaviors in a whole new light.
In my humble opinion, the description on the cover of this fascinating, well written and educational book is apt. I firmly believe that the autobiographical aspects of this story belonged in the book. When discussing a subject like addiction, you can study it all you want, but you will never truly understand until you have been there. The research gives me hope. And a greater understanding of a subject I find fascinating. #nonfiction #addiction
There have been many inspiring and educational passages in this book, but this one truly is important. I am of the opinion that if this message is taken to heart, a lot would change both in the broken war on drugs, and the (far from perfect) treatment system that is now in place. What is even more important is that this is supported by research and literature. #currentlyreading #nonfiction #endthestigma #harmreduction
And now for something a little bit different. Am I ready for this subject matter, again? I am not so sure. But it is a deeply fascinating and important one to me, so we shall see. #currentlyreading
Maybe so, but based on my experiences with friends, I don't necessarily find this to be true. This is not the most well written book I've ever read. Interesting, but it should've been a memoir.
This book is kind of reading like "convenient theories for the author about addiction." ? It's interesting, but a lot of the "facts" about addiction are thrown arounds as cherry picked numbers without attribution. So far, I'm not impressed. I feel the author would have been better served writing a memoir rather than trying to generalize. We'll see...
I made my #audible sale choices! If you're a member, check it out. The nonfiction choices are especially good, IMO. 😃👍🏻
