I don't really know how to review this book. It's REALLY helped me and out is a book that I find myself going BACK TO z all the time because I keep finding new things that I either need HELP with or just can RELATE to it. This book is HONESTLY one of those books I feel I am going to have for life; or a good chunk of it because, well, the is SO MUCH in this not-so-long tome of sage advice...... and hope.
The first half of the book was very inspiring and thought-provoking, diving deep in the underlying reasons of addictive behavior. I got a lot of insight from it. Somewhere in the latter half it became repetitive and a bit too new agey with forced "affirmations" (repeating endlessly "I can fly" doesn't necessarily make you able to fly.) Still, there's a lot of good in this book. The best one I've read about addictions so far.
