Jane Velez-Mitchell, author, Addict Nation, host, HLN's Issues

In her New York Times bestselling book, iWant, Jane Velez-Mitchell, host of HLN’s "Issues," detailed how her addictive personality infiltrated her life and led her to over consume everything from alcohol to food to work to spending. Now, in her latest book, Addict Nation: An Intervention for America, written in her trademark no-holds-barred style, Velez-Mitchell targets our entire culture, calling it a Nation of Addicts – arguing that Americans have collectively become dependent on and devoted to certain dysfunctions (including obsessive cleanliness, cruelty, sexual exploitation, food addiction, prescription drug dependency, overpopulation, over-consumption, war, incarceration, and crime).
