John Bradshaw has obviously been through a lot in hus life and I've watched his lectures in the past with great interest. His approach in this book, however, is so professorial that it's hard to get attached to the writing. It's like reading a college level lecture. There is no heart that comes across in his words. Hit a 12-step meeting instead.

Extensive and in-depth look at how society can choose to do the right thing and change the world--one person at a time. John shares his personal story along the way which carries his argument well. Philisophical, but practical at the same time.

An interesting book with some good thoughts… very much of a physiological/science based read.

I like Bradshaw's work, have read his previous books and attended one of his workshops. There's nothing new here -- work the Twelve Steps. The title is a reach. To reclaim something is to get back something lost. I highly recommend his previous books and would skip this one.

Surrender the information, don't just dole it out slowly and toss in a bunch of loosely related stuff. In other words: good information, poorly organized.
