In Counterfeit Fulfillment, physician-scientist Christopher Voss, MD presents a powerful new framework for understanding addiction: not as moral failure or weak will, but as a learned attempt to meet a real human need—peace, belonging, numbness, control, escape, comfort—through a substitute that works fast but never truly satisfies.
