Summary: A Pivotal Approach to Healing
Review: Carol Howe comes to this topic the hard way, which thus brings us a credible, believeable, and proven approach. Her be Here Now approach encourages us to leave blame, shame, and guilt behind... a welcome relief. You won't want to put this book down. When healers like Hugh Prather and Jerry Jampolsky speak so powerfully about an author, and a new book, we MUST pay attention. Carol has a knack, which likely comes from her over twenty years of "systems" experience in big business, and her parallel path of teaching and practicing the content of a major Miracles book. When you add in her successful experience as a mother, and her many painful lessons... the combination is one of deep wisdom, laced with an innate vein of humor. I highly recommend this book, and this author. Carol does indeed bring an experienced clarity of childhood trauma, thus giving us a brilliant book that simplifies this complex subject... and leaves us with a certain Hope, and Joy. My children, and my former wife no doubt wish that I had read this delightful book sooner. So do I.

Summary: New-Age stuff again
Review: Howe, a most aware and enlightened author, shows how we all use substances, people, situations, or activities to avoid feeling our feelings.

"What do we feel will happen if we start to examine our thoughts or our feeling nature?...Most of us never find out, because we have given the world and all its activities the purpose of avoiding this essential introspection."

Howe explains that addictions and compulsive behaviors are simply an avoidance of the inner chatter that speaks endlessly of our own and/or others' inferiority. She writes about the necessity of questioning these negative assessments.

The reader feels an intimate connection with the author, a humanitarian extraordinaire, who believes that people were born good, are good, and will always be good. Not knowing and believing this, says Howe, is our only real mistake.

Summary: New-Age stuff again
Review: I'm so fed up with all the contemporary new-age pseudo-psychology by people with no academic credentials in their fields. This is one more of this sort of literature and, what's worse, it is badly laid out. The first boring half of the book is about what has supposedly taken place during a seminar. The rest is personal stories of people who have conquered their addictions, all sounding rather fake. I would recommend instead "The Addictive Personality" by Craig Nakken.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: trim the fat
Review: Nowhere have I seen a more honest ,no-nonsense approach to addictions and human discomfort than in this book. I have read the introduction over and over for it is the most conscise explanation of the 'human' condition as has been written. It has a certain flow of truth that rings of channeled material --- it is just that exact.In this world the truth is addictions are transfered and not healed -- in Carol Howe's world addictions are healed because the cause of pain is FINALLY looked at. This a book that will be hated by traditional psychology --- that is how GOOD this book is!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Personal Experience
Review: Reading this book is to personally attend a workshop with the author and to be lead into some deep inner honesty by way of the open sharing of the participants. Real people willingly describe their respective addictions, confronting the pain from which they sought diversion, and their journeys into freedom. I was deeply touched, and challenged to realize there is nothing from which to hide.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Healing the Hurt Behind Addictionk and Compulsive Behaviors
Review: This book is radically simple, radically clear way to recover from any addiction. I know, because I tried it and it works. Carol Howe gives us profound insights into the idea of "one problem, one solution" with a clarity of writing that brings remarkable impact. This book is for anyone who suffers, which appears to be all of us.

Rating: 5 stars
