About Johann

Bio

Author of New York Times best-selling book 'Chasing The Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs.' I gave a ted talk called 'Eveything you think you know about addiction is wrong,' which has had 5 million views. I have written for the New York Times, the Guardian, Le Monde, the Sydney Morning Herald and others. I am writing the authorized biography of Noam Chomsky, and also writing a book about how we need to think about depression, anxiety and attention problems differently.
