Ep 50: Maia Szalavitz

Welcome to Episode # 50 of The Alcohol & Addiction Podcast. In this week’s episode I talk to Maia Szalavitz. Maia is a neuroscience journalist and author or co-author of seven books. Her most recent, Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction, was published in April, 2016. She writes for major publications including TIME, the New York Times, Scientific American, the Washington Post, VICE and Pacific Standard and I invited her onto the show to talk about that fabulous book. So without further ado. Here is Maia Szalavitz.

If you find the AA Podcast a valuable resource, then please tell your friends about it and share the love. You would make me a very happy man indeed if you could rate us on iTunes. This podcast would not be possible without the sterling efforts of Neil Chow and Liza Lim, so big hugs and kisses to them, and also to you, the listeners, without whom this podcast wouldn't be possible, so thanks for giving me your ear to bend. Finally, I want to take the time to tell you about three great products that I am affiliated with. I use all three and highly recommend them. The first is the Storyfluence Training Course by Michael Hauge and Andre Chaperon. An excellent grasp of storytelling is essential in all aspects of business and in life, and what better way to learn about the framework of a story than from a Hollywood scriptwriter and the man responsible for the Auto Responder Madness email course. Secondly, I want to tell you about Blinkist. Have you ever picked up a book and thought ‘just get to the point?' Well, Blinkist does that. They have read hundreds of self-help books, and they break down the most relevant points into a 15-minute bite-sized taste of pure goodness. If you love reading books, you will love Blinkist. Finally, if you are looking for an email subscription list management system with a difference then look no further than ConvertKit. They are so personable, they make you feel loved, and are always on hand to make their product better for you the customer.
