I had intended to do a full review of this one, but it's so unmemorable that the day after I finished it I had a hard time recalling the main points. It was interesting to read about the biopsychology of addiction and case studies of former addicts, but for the casual reader that one popular YouTube video on dopamine detox will give you the same basic idea.

This book did a good job backing up its main points with real life examples, which always helps me solidify a point.
I was a little concerned that when the book got to the part of pressing on the "pain" side of the "pleasure - pain scale" that the author didnt condemn harmful self harm techniques. Like cold showering is a good example of pressing on the pain side, but when talking about cutting, I would put a disclaimer there.
The book ran a little long for me, but it wasn't too long or wordy.
