Johann Hari on Global Lessons for Tackling Addiction: Insights from 'Chasing the Scream'

Sure look, I'm gay, and if you had told me I'm only, I'm not so old, I don't think I even heard the phrase gay marriage until I was like.
Ever wondered what other countries are doing right in the battle against addiction? In this compelling episode of the Cover2 Resources podcast, host Greg McNeil sits down with Johann Hari, the bestselling author of 'Chasing the Scream'. This conversation marks the third installment of a three-part series, and it’s packed with eye-opening strategies from nations like Sweden, Portugal, and Britain.
Hari dives into how these countries have effectively addressed addiction by focusing on social and political factors rather than just the symptoms. For instance, Britain’s approach to dealing with alcoholism during the Industrial Revolution offers valuable lessons for today’s drug crisis. The episode sheds light on how social isolation and lack of community support can drive people toward addiction, emphasizing the importance of compassion and love in recovery.
Hari and McNeil also discuss the transformative power of community and individual actions in creating meaningful change. If you’re looking for fresh perspectives on addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
