Travis N. Rieder Books
Travis Rieder's writing underwent a significant shift after a personal encounter with pain and its treatment, leading him to focus on harm reduction in pain management. His work intimately weaves together his own struggles with opioid painkillers, historical context, and a critical examination of the healthcare system. Rieder's approach combines personal narrative with compelling research to address the complex epidemics of pain, opioid addiction, and overdose. He aims to offer insights and potential solutions for a more responsible approach to pain.
From the small stuff like single-use plastics to major decisions like whether to have children, Rieder defines exactly how we can change our thinking and lead a decent, meaningful life in a scary, complicated world.
