If you’re looking for a purely neuroscientific journal alone, or someone’s memoir, or just some inspiration to help you reach out to someone afflicted —- this is not your book. But if you want all three you will be grateful for reading this remarkable book. I wanted to dislike it — because I’ve read almost everything on addiction, one of my continuing puzzles about human existence — but I just couldn’t put it down. Right to the last sentence, on the last page, I was compelled to think in new ways. In fact, her last line really shows how completely she has grasped the tragedy of addiction: (speaking of how to cure it) “While we’re at it, instead of wringing our hands, we might try reaching for another’s.” Powerful stuff.

I read on Kindle the Table of Contents or Chapter headings in advance of receiving my copy and VERIFIED my suspicion that the author most likely knows nothing of the importance of feedback and control mechanisms of electrical circuitry in the human brain or in the electronics now capable of functioning intelligently and mimicking human capacities to some degree. I am disappointed in advance that this is just another personal memoir, like the one I have been planning to write for many years about how parental and sibling abuse and neglect fosters misbehavior, anti-social characteristics and ultimately, the desire and needcto live in a world disconnected from reality and insulated from pain by neurochemical imbalances. I hope there is at least some intelligent discussions around neurotransmitters, so I’m tentatively upgrading my review from two stars to three of them. The author has her PhD in psychology and so has functioned successfully in a University environment. The fact that she has her Doctorate could just be University faculty & scholars doing their best to promote and aggrandize their own credentials and political agenda, or, I hope that there is really some valuable insight into what environmental and genetic factors cause or foster a predisposition to addictions, and how the average or general person can surmount personal obstacles.

I found Grisel’s ability to synthesize so many coherent pieces of addiction and neuroscience into a whole spellbinding. I have worked both personally and professionally with addiction for over 30 years and learned long ago the complexity of treating addiction. Stigma, moral judgements and secrecy prevent open discussion among most people grappling with addiction. Historically, moral overtones predicates science in the discussion of addiction. Grisel’s clarity in explaining neuroscience and her experience of addiction gave this reader a telescope with a more informed lens.

Outstanding book and research work being done on drugs and addiction - for those who want the details. The author does not dumb it down too much for the reader which I greatly appreciate. I want to know the biological/neurological processes taking place and why but there is still so much to learn.Thank you, Dr. Grisel!

This was a super interesting book that had loads of detail on what happens in the addicts brain depending on the drug. I am in awe of this authors ability to come out of deep addiction to study and teach about the brain and addiction. She is also very humble and acknowledge s there is still much to learn but expands on things that do work for addicts (support in groups of others etc..) highly recommend this book but you have to be willing to grind through some scientific terminology and detail.

As I began reading this great book, I thought, "Finally." Over the years, I have read so many misapprehensions of the role of dopamine in addiction. It is regularly presented as the "pleasure chemical", when in fact, its role is to 1) make one notice/remember a rewarding experience, and 2) drive one to seek out the source of pleasure (in this case, drugs, but it could be food, sex or anything that activates the brain's reward system).A former addict herself, and clean for three decades, Grisel begins with a brief overview of her own history as a user. She clearly explains the mechanisms of tolerance, withdrawal, and craving (the big three of addiction), before dedicating separate chapters to drugs such as stimulants, alcohol, marijuana, opioids, and tranquilizers. Despite their similarities, drugs affect the brain in idiosyncratic ways. For example, whereas a stimulant like cocaine works by directly increasing alertness, caffeine achieves the same goal by "blocking drowsiness", a subtle but important distinction.She concludes with a heartfelt and often philosophical approach to "solving addiction." While she freely admits that she doesn't have the answers, she presents a framework for how society can work together on this scourge,.Finally, while the book would probably be considered "popular" science, at times I found Grisel's style dense and academic. I don't mean this negatively in any way, in fact, I prefer this sort of science writing. As someone with a 30 year history in psychology, as undergrad, grad student, and now teacher, I sometimes had to re-read sections to fully understand them. At least a cursory background in neuroscience would certainly enhance one's enjoyment!

Highly recommended. Blending her personal story with serious science, neuroscientist and researcher Judith Grisel introduces the reader to core concepts in addiction - how it happens, why we get addicted, and how various drugs work on the brain. With her gripping personal story threaded throughout, she speaks both personally and professionally to all those who would understand this modern day scourge.
