In a book sure to inspire controversy, Gene Heyman argues that conventional wisdom about
addiction—that it is a disease, a compulsion beyond conscious control—is wrong. At the
heart of Heyman's analysis is a startling view of choice and motivation that applies to all
choices, not just the choice to use drugs.
