challenging informative reflective slow-paced

3.0

The narrative jumped around and the book lacked a central thread connecting the stories together into a purpose for their inclusion.

melina333's review against another edition

informative reflective medium-paced

2.5

Das Buch hatte einige Interessante Passagen und handelt davon, wie es gelingen kann eine Sucht zu bekämpfen. Viele Kapitel fand ich leider sehr langweilig, da immer wieder (in meinen Augen uninteressante) Geschichten aus dem Leben der Autorin und dem Leben ihrer Patienten ausgebreitet werden. Anstelle dieser ganzen Beispiele hatte ich mir mehr wissenschaftlichen Inhalt erhofft.

kirstenw's review against another edition

She explains so much about how our brain are affected by various influences in the modern world. It is a little repetitive, but for me that repetition helped drill in the points, especially when listening via audiobook. I got a lot out of the audiobook, but I think I need to get a hardcopy to reread and really soak it in.
