High Price: Drugs, Neuroscience, and Discovering Myself is a powerful memoir by Carl Hart that combines personal experience with groundbreaking scientific research on addiction. Growing up in a poor neighborhood surrounded by crime and drugs, Hart overcame significant challenges to become a leading neuroscientist and professor.
In this thought-provoking book, he examines the relationship between drugs, pleasure, choice, and addiction, challenging many common beliefs about drug use, race, and poverty. Blending memoir, science, and social commentary, *High Price* offers a compelling look at how evidence-based understanding can reshape the way we think about addiction and public policy.
