A very readable, non-esoteric, and practical book with advice on how to stop substance abuse and in particular on misusing alcohol. It contains also exercises and can be used as a self-help book for people who want to reduce unhealthy alcohol consumption and are not (heavily) addicted, yet. I liked, in particular, to understand better some of the vicious cycles, which makes it difficult to reduce alcohol consumption in the first place and might lead to addiction in the long term, and also the advice and ideas on how these vicious cycles can be broken. The biochemical aspects are also not excluded, but discussed in a level that laymen can follow.
