Schulkin and Huebner expertly blend neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and the history of medicine to explore the brain’s mechanisms of desire and addiction. Drawing parallels between opioid dependence and natural cravings, this book offers an illuminating perspective on how our brain reshapes pleasure, pain, and the pursuit of fulfillment. -- Kent Berridge, James Olds Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of Michigan Why do people use opioids? Among those who do, why do some become addicted? And how can we help them? Schulkin and Huebner provide a fascinating look at the science and philosophy of opioid use that attempts to tackle these thorny questions—with the admirable goal of taking that perspective and telling us how we can make real progress against addiction and overdose. -- Travis N. Rieder, Johns Hopkins University
