2. According to Dr. Maté, is addiction a public health problem or a sociological problem? Could it be both or neither? Do you agree with him?

4. Review the 15 minute interview with Dr. Maté on TVO’s The Agenda with host Steve Paikin, accessible at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-APGWvYupU What additional understanding about addictions did you gain from this interview, if any, that you did not from the book? Why or why not?
5. Has this book changed the way you think about addictions? How so or not? Are there any similarities between this book and how you (or someone you know, or have knowledge about) have experienced problematic substance use or addiction in their life?
