My new book THE URGE is out today. It’s a history of addiction, interwoven with my own experiences as an addiction psychiatrist at Columbia and as someone in recovery. Aside from my own recovery, it's the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I hope it’s helpful.

It was such a pleasure to have this Q&A with @awaisaftab !! Wonderful questions, as he always has in his great series. An honor to be included.
Dominant perspectives on addiction have overemphasized its supposedly separate, distinct, and abnormal status — @DrCarlErik

I enjoyed very much being interviewed by @OpenMindTV and am looking forward to how Alexander Heffner tries to calm some political anxiety in his upcoming season!
For many this election season is already filled with a combination of dread and dismay, but the second season of Breaking Bread may calm some nerves in an anxiety ridden environment by mixing food and politics

@margosteines Generally I like one overall idea or theme--i.e., a series of essayistic approaches to something, but not essays per se. VIROLOGY comes to mind (which I love)... that was for some reason described as essays, I think, but Osmundson didn't actually need to call them that.
