I could easily say that this was one of my favourite books to read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Offers critical insights into addiction *by M***H on 27 October 2024* Addiction isn't "a new" thing. Since the effects of addiction can tear through time and ripple across generations, understanding addiction is critical. This book is not so much a "here's how to treat addictions," book, but a "here's what we know about why it happens" book. The author mentions different neural circuits in the brain, data for relapse rates for different addictions, genetic, sex, and age influences that can tilt the scales to make people more likely to become addicts. The author differentiates between sensation seeking and impulsivety, which is crucial to understand addictions. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Neuroscience of Addiction (Cambridge Fundamentals of Neuroscience in Psychology) - The Neuroscience of Intelligence (Cambridge Fundamentals of Neuroscience in Psychology) - The Neuroscience of Suicidal Behavior (Cambridge Fundamentals of Neuroscience in Psychology) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/405492253-the-neuroscience-of-addiction](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/405492253-the-neuroscience-of-addiction) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
