This book offers a really great new way of looking at alcoholism and drug addiction. It is supported by the research that has been going on for over two decades, which the general public is largely unaware of, at least in the U.S. It is about time that we start looking at alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous, which according to research only has about a 5% success rate, so that the other 95% can get the help we need!

I figured if this works for crackheads, it should hopefully make a dent in my own bad habits. What it did was really change how I view what addiction is (it's rather scathing on AA's abdication of personal responsibility) and how people really break behaviors. I'd suggest it, even if you don't have any serious addictions to break!
I started this book due to a work issue, it is really good and has some good new ways to think about addiction, to include all addictions not just alcohol or drugs. Very good info - I am recommending it to people interested in this topic.
Stanton has my respect, psychologist and an attorney, (fights the court villains who mandate AA). His book is forthright, and simple, "Values, Motivation, Rewards, Resources, Support, Maturity, Higher Goals."
Another Mickey Mouse CEU class, but it was refreshing to have another perspective than the dominant 12 step program philosophy.
this guy is the anti-aa -- and i think he may be on to something -- focus is on self-efficacy in overcoming addictions of all kinds.
