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.

Compelling
Fascinating neurological disease view of addiction and what is necessary in the first week of life. Controversial for sure but I've always wanted to read it.
