THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE FEATURE FILM THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY
'Screamingly addictive' STEPHEN FRY
'Superb ... Thrilling story-telling' NAOMI KLEIN
'A powerful contribution to an urgent debate' GUARDIAN
What if everything we’ve been told about addiction is wrong? One of Johann Hari’s earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not being able to. As he grew older, he realised there was addiction in his family. Confused, he set out on a three-year, thirty-thousand mile journey to discover what really causes addiction – and how to solve it.
Told through a series of gripping human stories, this book was the basis of a TED talk and animation that have been viewed more than twenty million times. It has transformed the global debate about addiction.

Now, this book is stupendous. Nothing new, because we all know of each of the bits in this book. But to put it into a compelling tour de force narrative is superb.
It’s actually helped me more and allowed me to develop even deeper curiosity and compassion with my own inner addicted parts and with others’ too.
Lots of love from London, “Bad Boy” Pete

It took me awhile to settle into the book, and I wasn’t overly convinced initially with the strong focus on the backstory of Billie Holiday, etc… But what it gave me is a deeper insight to they real life of people who have been affected by something Beyond my own tiny little world.
Stick with the book!
The benefit of the initial chapters was overwhelming. The detail that the author goes into is phenomenal, and gives you so much perspective. I’ve read many of this authors works, and I am continually amazed by their dedication to seeking the truth, from all angles.
The book is read in such a way that it keeps you engaged, there is no monotone here. The beauty that the author is, in fact, the narrator, adds a deeper level of connection I believe.
Honestly, you will not be disappointed with this Work. 10 out of 10.
Eye-opening, Thor poking and an absolute must read/listen for everyone

Maybe it is actually a war on humanity, commonly driven by those perversely also addicted and themselves traumatised and disconnected.
There is hope, but less so via persecution and the encouragement of cartels. A powerful read that should be part of mainstream education.
Shockingly simple

We all deserve to feel loved and no one human being is an exception to this rule. I hope with all my heart. my children's children's children one day get to live in a world where love and tolerance of one another brings a downfall to war in drugs.
amazing book.
