Available for the first time in a paperback edition, here is Dr. Glasser's practical and inspiring guide to developing "positive addictions" that can help you gain strength and greater self-esteem. A hallmark of Dr. Glasser's work is his insistence that people can change themselves and improve their lives.It is possible, he says in this book, to become "addicted" to positive behavior-for instance, running or meditating, or some other activity performed for a specific period each day. These positive addictions-contrary to negative addictions to drugs, alcohol, smoking, or even overeating or excessive caffeine-can strengthen a person so he or she can overcome such negative addictions and lead a more integrated and rewarding life. In this thought-provoking book, Glasser tells much about the psychology of strength and weakness, the steps to positive addiction and its manifestations, and the benefits of positive addiction. We choose most of our own miseries in life and many people, weak and strong, can help themselves become stronger.
