He is an assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University, where he studies and teaches law, ethics, and policy relating to psychiatry and neuroscience, especially issues related to substance use disorders and other addictive behaviors. \nHe is the author of the nonfiction book The Urge: Our History of Addiction, an intellectual and cultural history of addiction, interwoven with his own experiences as an addiction psychiatrist at Columbia and as someone in recovery himself.\nOur conversation covers: \n Th origin of the word \"addiction\" and why we might need to reframe how we think about the word.\nPhysical dependence vs. pyschological dependence--is it important to separate the two? \nShould we be using people's happiness as a better gauge for whether or not they're \"addicted\" to something\nHow the recovery industry needs to focus more on the core of what drives people toward addiction and less about abstinence. \nResources Mentioned: \nEpisode 23 (Cutback Coach now Sunnyside) \n Sunnyside.co/minimalist\nThe Urge: Our History of Addiction\nDr. Carl Erik Fisher\nFlourishing After Addiciton\nBuy Breaking the Bottle Legacy: How to Change Your Drinking Habits and Create A Peaceful Relationship with Alcohol on Amazon or most online retailers. \nUS Kindle\nUS Paperback\nUK Kindle\nUK Paperback\nApple Books\nBarnes & Noble\nKobo\nJoin my private FB group Alcohol Minimalists here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/changeyouralcoholhabit\nHas this podcast helped you?
