Description

A neuroscientist's unique journey into his own addiction offers a fascinating insight into the universal story of addictions of every kind. Marc Lewis's relationship with drugs began in his teenage years, where he found temporary escapes from reality in cough medicine, alcohol, and marijuana. As he grew older, his experiences with methamphetamine, LSD, heroin, and other substances took him to various parts of the world, including Malaysia and India. Lewis's journey ultimately led him to a life of desperation, deception, and crime. However, unlike most addicts, he recovered and went on to become a developmental psychologist and researcher in neuroscience. In "Memoirs of an Addicted Brain", Lewis applies his professional expertise to a study of his former self, providing a thought-provoking exploration of addiction and recovery. This book is a personal and professional account of Lewis's experiences, offering a unique perspective on the complexities of addiction and the human brain.
