In his 2011 book Memoirs of an Addicted Brain: A Neuroscientist Examines his Former Life on Drugs, Lewis used himself as a case study of substance abuse on effects of various drugs on the human brain and the progress of his addiction. His new book, The Biology of Desire: Why Addiction is Not a Disease, is a collection of other people's personal stories, which serve as platforms to describe addiction - and being able to overcome it - in the context of brain science. By shaking up the established "disease model" of addiction with his research and theories, Lewis is sure to stir up a lot of controversy with his book, among both general public and scientific communities.
