He is best known for his "Rat Park" experiments, which challenged the dominant view of addiction as a purely biological phenomenon. These experiments showed that rats given a choice between water and morphine would choose water when provided with a stimulating and enriched environment.
Here are some of his notable works:
* "The Globalization of Addiction: A Study in Poverty, Inequality, and the Rise of the Drug Trade" (2008): This book explores the social and economic factors that contribute to addiction and the role of globalization in the drug trade.
* "The Biology of Freedom: What Neuroscience Reveals About Our Power To Choose" (2010): This book draws on his research to argue that human beings have a greater capacity for self-determination and freedom than is commonly believed.
* "Addiction: A View from the Inside" (2009): This book explores the personal experiences of people struggling with addiction and challenges traditional views of addiction.
