Through inspired and impressive prose, Dacour extends his initial, practical observations on addiction into an extensive examination of authenticity, exploring the way we define a happy life, a good life, a valid life.
"Conquered Imagination" offers a deeply human and revolutionary new framework for understanding and addressing addiction. Dacour argues that addiction is not merely a brain disease but an existential challenge that requires a more philosophical and interdisciplinary approach, as well as a lens through which we can better understand ourselves.
Addiction stems from our desire for happiness: whether we are addicted or not, we all struggle against meaninglessness and resort to false solutions in our despair. Dacour also illustrates how our individual capacity for self-deception relates to our collective self-imposed judgments, from environmental destruction to social injustice.
Drawing from vivid stories of his patients, groundbreaking research, and decades of clinical experience, "Conquered Imagination" offers a new framework for understanding and transcending addiction, as well as human suffering in general.
