    Great Knowledge.

    Tho, I am just halfway through this book, it has more than fulfilled my expectations. With facts about addictions, of all kinds, but mostly about substance abuse, Dr Mata explains in language all can understand the reasons behind addiction and his hopes in a society that may offer hope, without judgment.

    not enough solutions, too much self pity

    OK, so the reasons for the problem are clearly set out without needing so many examples. The author seems to want to let us all know what good work he has done. I do not disagree, but where are the solutions???. In this country, there will not be free drug clinics any time soon. More attention should have been paid to HOW to fix the problem, not wallow in self pity because you had childhood trauma. Watching one of his lectures would have given the same info, and I should have learned from those that there is no solution offered, although there are many other than rehab. JMO

    Enlightening, to say the very least!

    One of the best books Ive read in years! Having lived through my own saga of addiction, it was refreshing to see that an actual doctor knew what he was talking about! (i never used to care much for doctors but that was a long time ago.) Incredibly touching and heartbreaking stories open up the book, then the second portion goes into more clinical terms and brain functioning and all that but still without losing a layman like myself. The last section takes a look at the ridiculous system we have in place (War On Drugs my ass!) and offers some new and much more enlightened approaches to the problem of addiction in the modern world. Although I highly doubt society will much change the extreme prejudice with which it is currently deluded by, it was still very engaging to read a book by a ...

    A must read for anyone interested in the disease of addiction.

    I originally got this book out from the libary, but after reading it about half way I knew I had to own a copy. As an addict in recovery for over 10 years, I have read tons about this topic. I have never been so enlightened. Nearly every page had me going "ah ha!". I am now reading Gabor Mate's, "Scattered" and I am being equally awakened to his theories regarding Attention Deficit Disorder. Excellent book.

    One of the best

    No words for the stories and information packed into this book. I can hardly put it down. Highly recommend this book to anyone working in the substance abuse environment as well as have loved ones stuck in the path of addiction.
