What is Never Enough : The Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction about?
From a renowned behavioral neuroscientist & recovering addict, a rare page-turning work of science that draws on personal insights to reveal how drugs work, the dangerous hold they can take on the brain, & the surprising way to combat today's epidemic of addiction. Judith Grisel was a daily drug user & college dropout when she began to consider that her addiction might have a cure, one that she herself could perhaps discover by studying the brain. Now, after 25 years as a neuroscientist, she shares what she & other scientists have learned about addiction, enriched by captivating glimpses of her personal journey. In Never Enough, Grisel reveals the unfortunate bottom line of all regular drug use: there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Yet they have their appeal, & Grisel draws on anecdotes both comic & tragic from her own days of using as she limns the science behind the love of various drugs, from marijuana to alcohol, opiates to psychedelics, speed to spice.
