Format:Paperback
I never write reviews for books (too lazy). However this book deserves comment. Although I am only half way through this book, I am stunned by the realisations it has given me! so many books promise so much, and then fail to deliver. This book is of an entirely different quality. If you have addiction/compulsive behaviour, do yourself a big favour, buy this book. I always used to believe I could think my way out of my compulsions, how wrong I was. This book give answers........a big thankyou to the authors.

I purchased this book primarily to help me stop smoking. After a 1 day read I applied the principles in the book and have not had a cigarette for three weeks. From the moment I chose not to put a cigarette in my mouth I suffered no cravings or side effects (other than the odd very mild one but nothing that wasn't easy to deal with).
The book is amazing in that it takes you through the chemical process behind addiction and reveals the tricks the mind plays to trap one into performing addictive behaviours. The advice contained in the book for defusing the addicitive process and handling cravings is first class.
This book also contains information on human needs and the tools nature has provided one with to meet them. The authors explore these needs in depth and this explanation of the way things are meant to work makes it easiler to see how things go wrong. I fully recommend this book.

I read this book two years ago and it told me that the reason I was using drugs was that my needs weren't being met. I tried to do what it suggested to get my needs met but, of course, as an addict my needs are never going to be met. I'll always want more, more, more. So I started feeling very sorry for myself. Then I got into a spiral of self-pity and was soon using drugs and drink more than ever before.
The authors have good intentions but they don't seem to understand addiction. Their theories are just academic. They sound quite reasonable but they don't seem to work. At least they didn't work for me. If anything, their ideas only helped me to stay sick.
Since then, luckily for me, I've found another way to recover that (so far) seems to be working.
