Download or read book Addiction written by Gene M. Heyman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-15 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a book sure to inspire controversy, Gene Heyman argues that conventional wisdom about addiction—that it is a disease, a compulsion beyond conscious control—is wrong. Drawing on psychiatric epidemiology, addicts’ autobiographies, treatment studies, and advances in behavioral economics, Heyman makes a powerful case that addiction is voluntary. He shows that drug use, like all choices, is influenced by preferences and goals. But just as there are successful dieters, there are successful ex-addicts. In fact, addiction is the psychiatric disorder with the highest rate of recovery. But what ends an addiction? At the heart of Heyman’s analysis is a startling view of choice and motivation that applies to all choices, not just the choice to use drugs. The conditions that promote quitting a drug addiction include new information, cultural values, and, of course, the costs and benefits of further drug use. Most of us avoid becoming drug dependent, not because we are especially rational, but because we loathe the idea of being an addict. Heyman’s analysis of well-established but frequently ignored research leads to unexpected insights into how we make choices—from obesity to McMansionization—all rooted in our deep-seated tendency to consume too much of whatever we like best. As wealth increases and technology advances, the dilemma posed by addictive drugs spreads to new products. However, this remarkable and radical book points to a solution. If drug addicts typically beat addiction, then non-addicts can learn to control their natural tendency to take too much.
Download or read book The Addiction Process written by Bob Colonna and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-11-20 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book came out of a series of lectures given to participants in a chemical dependency treatment program. It is a provocative and powerful book that illuminates the hypocrisies and inequities in the laws and values in our society surrounding alcohol and other drug use, abuse, and addiction. These inequities stem from the lack of knowledge of the underlying addiction process on the part of our institutions and the general public. The author challenges the very foundation of our cultural values and shows us how these values give birth to an addiction process that permeates thinking throughout our family, religious, governmental, and educational institutions. This distorted thought system perpetuates a state of fear which polarizes society in an us against them mentality, and an attitude of any means justify the end

Book excerpt: Create a Magnificent NOW! is the first book about the law of attraction that presents a failsafe solution for achieving optimal health, wealth, and self-fulfillment. Coach Alex reveals what he believes is the real secret behind powerful manifestation. By embracing this secret and making it the cornerstone of the LOA process, Coach Alex believes that anyone can manifest whatever one desires -- as long as the end result will never harm anyone else.This book removes the fairy dust from the LOA and its practices of meditation, visualization, and manifestation. Coach Alex points out that magic is nothing more than physical laws scientifically explained. By citing numerous laboratory studies based on the work of some of the world's most trusted scientists, he provides measurable validation of the efficacy of the LOA through the new science of neuroplasticity. These studies also explain exactly why the LOA works.For the first time in the history of modern man, through actual demonstrations of the law of attraction, neuroplasticity builds a bridge between science and metaphysics. Skeptics who scorned the law of attraction as a New Age fad will think twice after studying the findings of these prestigious scientists. These studies confirm what ancient mystics and spiritual teachers have always known: unquestionably the LOA has the ability to improve the quality of any person's life.Create a Magnificent NOW is a book about the law of attraction written by a professional life coach who personally used this universal law to jumpstart his own life; in the process, discovering a secret failsafe method for successful manifestation.

Download or read book Memoirs of an Addicted Brain written by Marc Lewis and published by Doubleday Canada. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping, ultimately triumphant memoir that's also the most comprehensive and comprehensible study of the neuroscience of addiction written for the general public. FROM THE INTRODUCTION: "We are prone to a cycle of craving what we don't have, finding it, using it up or losing it, and then craving it all the more. This cycle is at the root of all addictions, addictions to drugs, sex, love, cigarettes, soap operas, wealth, and wisdom itself. But why should this be so? Why are we desperate for what we don't have, or can't have, often at great cost to what we do have, thereby risking our peace and contentment, our safety, and even our lives?" The answer, says Dr. Marc Lewis, lies in the structure and function of the human brain. Marc Lewis is a distinguished neuroscientist. And, for many years, he was a drug addict himself, dependent on a series of dangerous substances, from LSD to heroin. His narrative moves back and forth between the often dark, compellingly recounted story of his relationship with drugs and a revelatory analysis of what was going on in his brain. He shows how drugs speak to the brain - which is designed to seek rewards and soothe pain - in its own language. He shows in detail the neural mechanics of a variety of powerful drugs and of the onset of addiction, itself a distortion of normal perception. Dr. Lewis freed himself from addiction and ended up studying it. At the age of 30 he traded in his pharmaceutical supplies for the life of a graduate student, eventually becoming a professor of developmental psychology, and then of neuroscience - his field for the last 12 years. This is the story of his journey, seen from the inside out.

As you lose your ability to do things you once considered routine, you may even feel that you are losing your self-worth, that your physical condition is threatening your identity.
