The book offers a compelling and insightful read for those individuals who regularly break the law and need to find proven methods of dramatically changing their ways and thus getting their lives back on track.

The book also includes a series of exercises Dr. Faber hopes each reader will engage in as he believes these are a critical aspect of self-examination and the overall rehabilitation process.
The book is broken down into five concepts that the reader will need to follow to stay out of the legal system. Those pertinent areas
Creating a Purposeful Schedule
Building Health and Resilient Self-Esteem
Staying Away From Toxic Living a Life of Sobriety

Finding Captivating Mentors
Although these principles are simple to understand, they are quite challenging and difficult to follow. In the daily “grind” of life, Dr. Faber emphasizes this point throughout the book. In addition, he simultaneously inspires the reader to live life at a higher level.

Dr. Faber is one of the most intelligent, generous and caring individuals I have ever met and his new book embodies all of those qualities! "Escape : Rehab Your Brain to Stay Out of the Legal System" will serve as an invaluable resource for individuals who have constant run-ins with the law - often times faced with long prison sentences - as well as those who work tirelessly to support them including defense attorneys, counselors, family members, and friends. Dr. Faber's premise speaks to the fact that those individuals interfacing with the law on a regular basis have "bad brains" and that it's very possible to transform them into healthy brains and subsequently contributing members of society. The book features several stories of those who have successfully done this. There are thoughtful and reasonable exercises presented at the conclusion of each chapter. Considering the U.S. prison population is more than two million and costs an enormous amount of money to operate, this is a book can't get out soon enough and thus address one of the most serious issues in American society.
