What You Know About Addiction Might Be Wrong

August 10, 2015

In this TED talk, Journalist Johann Hari questions the real cause of addiction.  Having a family history of addiction, he realized that he lacked answers to questions like:   "What really causes addiction?  Why do we carry on with this approach that doesn't seem to be working? Is there a better way out there that we can try instead?" So he went in search of answers, travelling thousands of miles and talking to a variety of people.  What was his conculsion?  "Almost everything we think we know about addiction is wrong."
