Never Enough
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Author: Judith Grisel, PhD
Overview
Judith Grisel was once a daily drug user and college dropout, convinced she was trapped in the endless cycle of addiction. But when she turned her attention toward the brain, she discovered a path that not only helped her recover but also led her to become a respected neuroscientist.
In Never Enough, Grisel brings together personal stories from her years of addiction with groundbreaking scientific insights, showing exactly how drugs hijack the brain, why they hold such power, and why their effects are never as satisfying as we hope. She explains the biology of dependence, the reasons some people are more vulnerable to addiction than others, and why lasting recovery depends less on an individual “cure” and more on rebuilding our communities.
This rare combination of memoir and science offers both clarity and compassion on one of the most pressing public health issues of our time.

Reviews
“Dr. Judith Grisel, a neuroscientist and a person in long-term addiction recovery, juxtaposes stark examples from her own tortured past, methodically connecting each experience to the hard science of addiction neurobiology. The science behind addiction comes alive in its sorrow and grandeur. When you pick up this book get ready for an intense ride.” —Paul H. Earley, M.D., DFASAM; President-elect, American Society of Addiction Medicine
“Grisel is a recovering addict, a neuroscientist, and a talented writer. Who better to help us understand drug addiction? This book is as informative as it is moving.” —Martha J. Farah, Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania
“It is rare to have a book on addiction marry emotional and scientific views. Never Enough sends a message of hope in relaying Judith Grisel’s pathway out of her own drug quagmire—notably, one triggered by the positive and compassionate responses of those near and dear to her.” —Christopher J. Evans, Ph.D., UCLA
“Grisel’s account of her wayward early 20s, chasing one high after another, is harrowing... She writes clearly and unsparingly about both her experiences and the science of addiction... Illuminating reading for those seeking to understand the whos, hows, and wherefores of getting hooked.” —Kirkus Reviews
