No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Michael Moss’ Hooked in just a short listen.
A few key insights from Chapter 1:
1. Ancient Romans coined the term addico to mean "giving over”. It was also linked to devotion, a usage that quickly morphed into the concept of binding oneself to a person or cause. By the sixteenth century, addiction was employed as a noun to narrate lust and passion of all sorts.
2. One of the earliest recorded uses of the noun addict was in the context of food and drink. A physician cited exuberant eating as a bigger concern than alcohol in an 1899 volume of the Illinois Medical Journal.
3. Drug misuse had overtaken alcohol as a social threat by the twentieth century. When a person's urge to use a substance was compulsive, as in obsessive and uncontrollable, he or she was completely addicted. The word habit was better suited to the need for a sense of well-being.
4. When scientists learned more about drugs, they found that their results differed from person to person. Some people are able to use medications without developing an addiction. Others become addicted even though they just use a small amount.
