Solving Maladaptive Daydreaming: A Step-by-Step Plan for Returning to the Real You

by Alex Benoit

Maladaptive daydreaming nearly derailed my life. Like many others, I did not even know what maladaptive daydreaming was when it first took over my life. Instead I simply found myself engrossed in my own daydreams for hours a day while actively ignoring my "real" life in the process. When I eventually figured out what maladaptive daydreaming was, I was stunned to realize just how few people were talking about it. Worse yet I could find no strategies, tips, or tricks for overcoming maladaptive daydreaming anywhere. After months of trial and effort I devised a step-by-step plan for overcoming my maladaptive daydreams. It's been nearly three years since I last had maladaptive daydreams. However, I wanted to preserve and share my own strategy for overcoming maladaptive daydreaming and decided to compile it all into this book Solving Maladaptive Daydreaming is far more than just a book; it's meant to be your complete blueprint to overcoming maladaptive daydreaming. Here are just some of the things included in ✓ The Seven-Step Method for overcoming maladaptive daydreaming that hundreds of maladaptive daydreamers have utilized successfully (including myself) ✓ The four “tricks” that fool your brain into abandoning your maladaptive daydreams (for some people just one of these tricks can cause your maladaptive daydreams to disappear within days) ✓ How to deal successfully with relapsing into old or new maladaptive daydreams after you have recovered ✓ What the proper mindset to view your maladaptive daydreams is and how to leverage it successfully ✓ The Maladaptive Daydreaming Survey that asks the tough questions you need to answer about your maladaptive daydreams (for some people just answering these questions is enough to overcome their maladaptive daydreams altogether) ✓ The Maladaptive Daydreams Test that has been taken by the hundreds of other maladaptive daydreamers who have read this book (I've included their results so you can compare where you are relative to them) Overcoming maladaptive daydreaming is not for the faint of heart. What this book aims to do is create a plan of action that is both easy to stick to while also being ruthlessly effective. It has helped hundreds of others and I sincerely hope it can help you.

Good to know about MDD

It’s a good book that talks about MDD. I like the steps he recommends to combat. If there is anything, I think the flaws with his methods is you can drag yourself into being a negative person. One of his method is to combat them by thinking adversely about them. I felt like that would take you from being a daydreamer to a negative person. That’s about all I have to say…overall not bad book.

When it comes to mental health related issues. You often find people either negelecting or calling it stress or your confused.
The book is one such statement breaker that he has understood so well on Maladaptive daydreamer's and has looked through there point of view. Neither being judgemental or act as a opinionated person. He wrote this book in such a way and to remind you that there's is second chance for you to live( Live again).
"Because you don't no how it is difficult to live inside the brain than in the reality".

How do i read this????

Repetitive to the point that j started to maladaptively dream


I am happy that Alex has shared his story. In fact he repeats it several times throughout the book. The book has good intentions, but literally repeats itself in back to back paragraphs then followed up by a two page chapter. The tests come at the very end, so you front load about Chris, Alex and the dream violinist to the point that by the time you do get to the tests, I personally was annoyed and had started to skip and skim.

Then there is the grammatical elephant in the room. Please get this formally edited. I understand you had "a high power job in NYC" but let a copy editor help you to clean it up.

You have a few noteworthy tips so I thank you for that. But constantly teasing the quiz and survey for 90% of the book is unfair and feels like a cash grab.

You've diluted your words with repetition, poor grammar and abstract storytelling that go beyond examples.

😐At the end, we don't get much analysis of what our results possibly mean. You literally end the entire book by sharing a table and bar chart depicting how others have scored on your course.

I'm disappointed and feel like I've been taken advantage of in a maladaptive nightmare.
