Addicted to Stress: A Woman's 7 Step Program to Reclaim Joy and Spontaneity in Life 3 reviews
Debbie Mandel
Jossey-Bass, 2008
Addicted to Stress Mom Central Review
If there's one thing that women everywhere know about, it's stress. Stress about kids, relationships, work, dinner, laundry...the list goes on and on. In fact, one might say women are "addicted to stress." Which is exactly the idea behind Debbie Mandel's ingenious new book. In it, she likens a woman's tireless work to identity theft and points out the irony of calling a never-ending to-do list ...

Addicted to Unhappiness: Free Yourself from Moods and Behaviors That Undermine Relationships, Work, and the ...42 reviews
Martha Heineman Pieper, William J. Pieper
McGraw-Hill, 2004
Difficult to accept, but true
Everything that this book talks about is true. It's difficult for some people (usually, people with the exact same problem that the authors are talking about) to admit that they're messed up. The notion that their subconscious is making them do things that are not necessarily good for them, is a truth that's hard to swallow. That's why concepts like Transactional Analysis introduced way back in ...

Addiction and Change: How Addictions Develop and Addicted People Recover (The Guilford Substance Abuse Series)4 reviews
Carlo C. DiClemente
The Guilford Press, 2006
How people become addicted; how they recover.
This book, based upon the Prochaska and Norcross model of "stages of change" is a vital resource for the chemical dependency/abuse counselor, or anyone else who works with this population.
The authors clearly delineate how a person becomes addicted (using the stages of change model- except in reverse), then moving on to the process of recovery.
Contrary to an earlier review, I did not ...

Addicted: A Novel521 reviews
Zane
Atria, 2001
I'm Addicted too!
This by far has been one of the best books that I have ever read! I have brought a couple of Zane books, so this one had to be added to my collection also. And it was worth every penny. Not only have I read it twice, I have also suggested it to friends. Some may feel that this story could never become realistic, but I strongly disagree. I have been there before in a past relationship where I'm ...

Karen O'Connor
Harvest House Publishers, 2005
Regain control over your spending
About the time I was maxing out my credit card in too many digits to mention, I found Karen O'Connor's book. Through it I realized that my lack of financial discipline was not only hurting my family but also keeping me from helping others as I'd like. While reading her book, I had to face up to some negative behaviors but now am on the right track to freedom from financial bondage. I highly ...

Internal Combustion: How Corporations and Governments Addicted the World to Oil and Derailed the Alternativees23 reviews
Edwin Black
Dialog Press, 2008
The most complete incomplete history book of 2006
A common thread throughout human history is the suspicion that the way the world is did not come about naturally as a result of countless choices by countless individuals; but instead was cobbled together via a series of hidden decisions made by those in power for the sake of expanding or preserving their power. In modern America, this line of thought is often denoted as "cospiracy theory". ...

Addicted to Mediocrity: Contemporary Christians and the Arts 21 reviews
Franky Schaeffer
Crossway Books, 1981
Franky Hits the Nail on the Head
If you're a Christian involved in the arts, you MUST read this.
Even though the book was written back in 1981, Franky's comments about contemporary evangelicalism indulging themselves in propagandizing, sloganeering bad art with the label "Christian" slapped on it is more relevant that ever.
Franky attacks the false notion that if you're a Christian and you are an artist that any art you do ...

Kicking Habits: Welcome Relief for Addicted Churches6 reviews
Thomas G. Bandy
Abingdon Press, 2001
Vital for catching a new vision
This book is invaluable for anyone in leadership in the established institutional churches. It made me squirm more than once, but it also gave me the clearest picture of why the mainline churches are in decline I've gotten from any source. Bandy uses a narrative of a young couple who are church shopping to illustrate his points, and it hits very close to home. You'll recognize it all. The ...

Fearproof Your Life: How to Thrive in a World Addicted to Fear10 reviews
Joseph Bailey
Conari Press, 2007
Easy too follow
I bought this book because I love to read psychology books. Plus, I guess there are certain dragons in my closet that need to be exterminated that I alone know where they lurk. This book is some sort of "how to" ways of dealing with these fire seething monsters. It's very effective because 1) it is believable 2) it can easily sink in even if consciously you reject the idea, it cannot be rejected ...

This Book Can Save Your Child's Life
I ordered and read the adult version of this book. Within one week I ordered and read this book knowing that in I would find the answers to my daughter's diet problems.

Lydia Parks
Aphrodisia, 2008
Addicted? Yeah, like heroin on steriods.
This book was beautifully written and about as hot as it gets. I'm not much of a vamp girl, but Ms. Parks has definietly converted me. I guess I just didn't know that this type of fiction could be so well-written and so satisfying. One reviewer said it was intoxicating and I'd have to agree with her on that one. The love stories were well-fleshed out and the steamy stuff was enough to power a ...

I Am Your Disease: The Many Faces of Addiction31 reviews
Sheryl Letzgus McGinnis, Heiko Ganzer
Outskirts Press, 2006
As valuable as any clinical text.
As a Clinical Social Worker, I recommend this book be mandatory for any professional in the field. This book goes beyond a scientific understanding of substance abuse, beyond treatment methods and beyond clinical strategy. It explores substance abuse from the viewpoint of the mother or the family member who has lost a loved one. It reminds us that a life lost to substance abuse is a life ...

Addicted to "Love": Understanding Dependencies of the Heart : Romance, Relationships, and Sex15 reviews
Stephen Arterburn
Vine Books, 2003
What an eye opener!
This book was extremely helpful in my recovery. I learned how to evalute my own needs and the reasons I choose certain people to get in relationship with. It pulled she cover off my denial. Which is not a fun thing, but necessary for hope and a future. It may have prevented more heartbreak and pain in my future relationships. I felt like parts of this book were written about me. Dr. ...
