This book is part memoir and part scientific essay on neuroscience and addiction. It is an excellent introduction for someone who wants to understand addiction better across a spectrum of drugs. The author discusses the differences and similarities between stimulants, opiates, alcohol, thc, psychedelics, and other drugs. Judith briefly mentions how others in the same or similar situation as her died, and that there is no reason she should have necessarily made it out alive and they did not. She was in enough dangerous situations, but thank goodness she made it out. Now, look at the work she is doing. It is really impressive. Think of all the talent, intelligence, and value we lose to addiction every day, with those that do not make it out.
