<p><b>Revised and Updated</b> <p/><b>The <i>New York Times </i>Bestseller</b> <p/><b>What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? Johann Hari's journey into the heart of the war on drugs led him to ask this question--and to write the book that gave rise to his viral TED talk, viewed more than 62 million times, and inspired the feature film <i>The United States vs. Billie Holiday </i>and the documentary series<i> The Fix</i>.</b> <p/>One of Johann Hari's earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not being able to. As he grew older, he realized he had addiction in his family. Confused, not knowing what to do, he set out and traveled over 30,000 miles over three years to discover what really causes addiction--and what really solves it. <p/>He uncovered a range of remarkable human stories--of how the war on drugs began with Billie Holiday, the great jazz singer, being stalked and killed by a racist policeman; of the scientist who discovered the surprising key to addiction; and of the countries that ended their own war on drugs--with extraordinary results. <p/><i>Chasing the Scream</i> is the story of a life-changing journey that transformed the addiction debate internationally--and showed the world that the opposite of addiction is connection.</p>
