Conquering Addiction: Embracing Natural Highs over Alcohol, Substance Use, and Compulsive Behaviors is a groundbreaking book that redefines addiction with a focus on neurochemical changes and the pursuit of healthy pleasurable experiences over detrimental compulsive behaviors. It explores the multidimensional aspects of addiction through the framework of arousal, satiation, and fantasy, bringing together psychology, biology, and sociology.
Providing readers with an utterly novel and comprehensive approach, authors Harvey B. Milkman and Katherine G. Hill show how, by stimulating healthy target sites for dopamine, we are able to eliminate addiction’s power to rule our lives. The text includes pristine, imaginative, and scientifically accurate illustrations that enhance the reading and learning experience. Remarkably timely and exceptionally relevant, the book helps readers better understand the problem of addiction and how to triumph over a world of counterfeit seductions.
Conquering Addiction is ideal for courses in psychology, neuroscience, and public health. With its combination of scientific rigor and accessible presentation, the book offers educational insights into the complexities of addiction and strategies for embracing a life that values natural highs.
