Carl Erik Fisher, MD Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Carl Erik Fisher, MD

I’m honored to be featured in @guardian's The Long Read today, some personal excerpts from my book The Urge. Read for thoughts on the philosophy of addiction, psychosis, addicted physicians, deaths of despair, coercion, and the universality of addiction. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/feb/08/alcoholism-and-me-i-was-an-addicted-doctor-the-worst-kind-of-patient

I loved doing this interview with @dhbuffalo , a historian I deeply admire--his work, especially his book White Market Drugs, was essential for many themes I discuss in The Urge. Thanks for having me! https://twitter.com/integralrising/status/1504481784410505219

@jaimealyse Will Patton reading James Lee Burke!! (Not abridged). New Orleans detective stuff. The best. Or How the Word is Passed, Clint Smith reads it himself and does an amazing job. Ayad Akhtar reading Homeland Elegies. Uncanny Valley was really great as an audiobook.

@tenuredaddict @ecopulsky Otherwise, lots of interesting mid-century works, like the people Leslie Jamison covers in The Recovering, itself really worth looking at. I think Kiese Laymon's Heavy is a true classic in the making and really really special, though only a few years old.

"The Urge contains a wealth of such research and insight, rendered with a gimlet eye and a physician’s care...an inspired dive into a condition that, in one way or another, touches us all." review by @chrisvognar ,really meaningful when a person in recovery finds the book useful! https://twitter.com/BGlobeBooks/status/1481991948915380236
