Un-Addiction: A Mind-Changing Conversation on How We Think About Addiction and Risk, with Nzinga Harrison, M.D.

In the two years since our favorite M.D. was last on the show, Dr. Nzinga Harrison has organized much of her extensive knowledge about the roots of substance use disorders into a new book: Un-addiction: 6 Mind-Changing Conversations That Could Save a Life. The framework is comprehensive and data-driven, but also plainly written and easy for a layperson to understand. I tried using sticky notes to mark the best parts of this book, but gave up when I realized I was marking almost every page. Listen in to hear Dr. Harrison’s six essential conversations, as well as some of her own challenges as mom to a high school senior.
