"Meh....2.5 stars. A pet peeve of mine is the use of the word "chuckle" or "chuckling" or "chuckled." I don't know why, but it bugs me.....maybe because how often do we actually use the word, let alone do the action of chuckling in our lives? Like did"

“No one anticipated that this crazy push for speed—speed of the technology itself, and speed to discovery—would also be the root of personal disasters, of uncontrollable compulsivity, of endless pursuit culminating in an ultimate depression and despair.”
― Speed: Facing Our Addiction to Fast and Faster--And Overcoming Our Fear of Slowing Down
― Speed: Facing Our Addiction to Fast and Faster--And Overcoming Our Fear of Slowing Down
“Recovery is a resumption of the work that was not completed when the woman was a girl. It is a coming into her own. It is an opportunity to resume the normal process of development that was sidetracked, perhaps first by constrained roles, perhaps by trauma, and then multiplied many times by hiding in the addiction. Her development was sidetracked by not accepting her needs as legitimate and not finding healthy ways to meet them, by not even knowing her needs. And so this is what recovery is: a developmental process of finding and building a new self. Recovery is a process of radical growth and change. When you are in recovery, you give birth to a new self. [...] Many women initially think that recovery means a move from bad to good. They think that being addicted is evidence of shameful neediness, of deep and lasting failures. Recovery is not a move from bad to good, but from false to real. [...] It is reality, being real, that now guides her rather than her efforts to be good or bad.”
