by Tony Henty

In the process, however, their founders uncovered something far more beneath each Step lies a principle—a cause that governs human experience itself.

Practice These Principles explores this remarkable discovery, revealing how these principles, when practiced, bring relief not only from addiction, but from many forms of human suffering.

Fear, loss, loneliness, anger, heartache, and grief are shown to share a common root—disconnection—this book shows how all can be transformed through the same underlying principles.

Everything I write comes from lived experience. While my work is rooted in recovery, it is written for addict and non-addict alike, in fact, anyone seeking to understand how thoughts shape feelings, how principles govern outcomes, and how awakening the spirit can change everything.

From the author of Think What You Like comes an in-depth but easy-to-understand look at how the spiritual principles behind the Twelve Steps can solve life's problems, no matter how big or small they might be. A book for addicts and non-addicts alike.
