Johann Hari: Everything You Think You Know About Addiction Is Wrong

Johann Hari presents a TedTalk challenging the approach the world often uses when dealing with a person struggling with addiction. He states, "The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection."


YouTube Description:

Johann Hari has seen our current methods fail firsthand, as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions. He started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do — and if there might be a better way. As he shares in this deeply personal talk, his questions took him around the world, and unearthed some surprising and hopeful ways of thinking about an age-old problem.
