Undoing Drugs: The Untold Story of Harm Reduction and the Future of Addiction by Maia Szalavitz

challenging emotional informative slow-paced

5.0

Thanks to Hachette Go for the free copy of this book.

 - Before I read UNDOING DRUGS, I knew of the concept of harm reduction - aiming to improve the lives of addicts rather than demanding perfection - but I didn’t know anything about its origins or the battles its proponents have been through. This book teaches all that and more and is quite readable and personal throughout.
- Most eye-opening for me was the idea that harm reduction can be applied to nearly every aspect of human life, not just drug use. It is the concept that ties together so many other progressive movements in society, from incarceration to C*VID mitigation.
