Overview

The Science and Spirituality of Addiction bridges the gap between the laboratory and the human spirit, offering a compassionate yet scientifically grounded guide to recovery. Integrating neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality, it reveals how addiction arises not from moral failure but from a complex interaction of neurochemical reward systems, emotional wounds, and existential disconnection. Drawing equally on empirical research and lived experience, this book maps the terrain of recovery as both a physiological recalibration and a spiritual reintegration. It explores how ancient traditions, modern psychology, and post-modern insight converge to form a comprehensive understanding of human healing. Readers will discover how dopamine, trauma, and conditioning shape compulsive behavior--and how awareness, compassion, and connection can transform it. Written for those who seek clarity and practical tools as much as hope, The Science and Spirituality of Addiction speaks to professionals, thinkers, and seekers alike. By uniting science and soul, it invites readers to integrate their fragmented selves and rediscover wholeness in a fractured world.
