In this pathbreaking book, Hanna Pickard proposes a new paradigm for understanding the puzzle of addiction.

Flanagan has firsthand knowledge of what it is like to be an addict. That experience informs this important and novel work. He pairs the sciences that study addiction with a sophisticated view of the consciousness-brain/body relation to make his core argument: that substance addictions comprise a heterogeneous set of "psychobiosocial" behavioral disorders. He explains that substance addictions do not have one set of causes, such as self-medication or social dislocation, and they do not have one neural profile, such as a dysfunction in dopamine system.

State is the emotional fuel you want to fill up on - the things or experiences that make you feel good. Most people have been fueling up the wrong way their entire life, and their state is not what it ought to be. One of the worst things people fill up on is alcohol and drugs. Fueling up the right way is what successful people do - they fill up with it first thing in the morning, every day of their lives.
