The general take
Terry Real speaks positively about the book as part of the broader 12-step tradition, calling Pia Melody (the author) "a great light in 12-step" and mentioning it in the context of understanding addiction as rooted in disconnection. He positions it as aligned with his own approach and Huberman's interest in 12-step work, though the clip is brief and doesn't elaborate on specific insights from the book itself.
Who said what
Terry Real👍 Recommends
…referencing seminal book on codependency and 12-step wisdom
“I have a one-sentence thing to say about addiction. What we self-medicate, when we self-medicate, is the pain of disconnection. I'm a big 12-step fan. I know you are too. One of my great mentors was Pia Melody. It was a great light in 12-step. Yeah, the book about codependency.”
