Twice while reading this book, I was asked why I would be interested in a book about addiction. Because my brother told me I should, is the first reason, but not a very compelling answer. But more than that, reading a book about a condition that affects us all, in one way or another, is an act of humanitarian compassion. In order to operate in our fragmented society, we must build connections to people who function with various degrees of addiction and impairment. Understanding the common roots of addiction (across substances, habits and behaviors) makes it possible to see the layers of brokenness and dysfunction created by our misguided societies, and to walk forth with compassion.
