Unhooked by Dr. Adi Jaffe is a revolutionary take on addiction that redefines its root causes and offers a new path to recovery. Challenging conventional beliefs, Jaffe shifts the narrative from helplessness to empowerment, equipping readers with tools to identify the “hooks” that fuel their compulsive behaviors and replace destructive habits with constructive ones.

Drawing from his own journey as a former addict, Jaffe intertwines personal stories with the experiences of others to uncover the deeper truths about addiction. His candid reflections, coupled with extensive research, lay the foundation for the “Unhooked Method”—an innovative approach that moves beyond the traditional “disease model.” This method emphasizes uncovering emotional and psychological triggers, focusing on addressing the underlying causes rather than merely treating symptoms. The result is a practical, transformative guide for achieving lasting freedom from addiction. Jaffe broadens the scope beyond drugs and alcohol to include caffeine, food, video games, social media, and more. This inclusive perspective underscores how addiction touches nearly every facet of modern life, affecting far more people than commonly acknowledged.

Through vivid storytelling and real-life examples, Jaffe brings readers into the minds of those struggling, fostering understanding and empathy for their battles. This book is a catalyst for change. By reframing addiction as a widespread and surmountable challenge, Jaffe takes critical steps toward destigmatizing it. His message resonates not just with those battling addiction but also with their loved ones, offering hope and actionable strategies.

Unhooked is a must-read for anyone seeking insight into the nature of addiction or searching for a path to recovery. It’s a profound and accessible resource that redefines how we view and approach this pervasive issue.
