How to Feel Good and How Not to: The Ethics of Using Marijuana, Alcohol, Antidepressants, and Other Mood-Altering Drugs Paperback – 20 Aug. 2020

We were made to delight in the richness of reality.Dr. Miravalle’s book recognizes the essential components of the human person that our secular society ignores. He applies reason to reality to confirm that we are not solely material beings, but creatures who experience the world and others through body and soul. Through this understanding of the human person, Miravalle’s book provides clarifications of misconceptions on the reality of beauty, delight, suffering, goodness and love. His insights aid the reader in accurately understanding himself and his interactions with others and the world. By examining the ethical concerns of human decisions and feelings, especially in the context of how drugs or antidepressants alter those interactions, the reader sees how a suppression can be alleviated by freedom, fears can be dissipated by gratitude, and hardened hearts can be melted by a love set aflame by a desire for the Real.
