Description
Considering the many ways people seek emotional pleasure, relaxation or escape in self-harmful ways - from excessive alcohol use and drug abuse to smoking, overeating, compulsive gambling, out-of-control spending and even lesser behaviors like habitual nail-biting - there are few of us who do not have, or know someone close who has, an addiction or habit they wish they could break. The problem common to all, says author Browne-Miller, is that psychological reactions to events have motivated behaviors which, in turn, have created biochemical reactions in the brain that actually wires it for repeating the habit or addiction. In this groundbreaking book, Browne-Miller explains simply and clearly how we can control our thoughts to rewire the brain and beat the pattern that spurs repeating harmful habits, and addictions.

Browne-Miller, author, editor, and founder, Addiction Stoppers) offers an approach for redirecting oneself away from detrimental habits and addictions. Referring to her basic premise as a dialogue with the brain, the author illustrates how and why people become tangled in habits they desperately want to break — and how to unload them. She explains her Situational Transcendence process, which involves understanding the psychological machinations that encourage addictions, and using them to break addiction. She also uses several vignettes to illustrate how addictions happen and ways to overcome them.
