"What really causes addiction -- to everything from cocaine to smart-phones? And how can we overcome it? Johann Hari has seen our current methods fail firsthand, as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." "Women are like teabags. You don't know how strong they are until you put them in hot water. (don’t go there!)" "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."
