pickI really appreciated this book. As a person who has a long family history of addiction, I have sought to know more about this disease. I love how in-depth they went with the science. That speaks greatly to me. I wasn't as interested in the biographical information, though I understand how that can be helpful for others that want relatable information.
I do wish this were a much longer book though, with detailed treatment information.
Chrissyreadit Have you read The Body Keeps The Score? Or Gabor Mate‘s books on addiction? 2y
SpiderGoddess @Chrissyreadit I have read "The Body Keeps the Score," but I've not read any books by Gabor Mate... Do you have a recommendation for which title to begin with? 2y
