Recommended for anyone looking for growth and spiritual healing, and who may wonder why current models of helping have not done so. The author challenges what is happening and offers practical alternatives gleaned from her life and those of her clients, while on the path of growth and recovery.

This book explains how fitting into this world can be costly and painful. If you have never 'fully adjusted' to the demands of our modern world or have delved into "self-help" and/or therapy and found no durable answers, this book suggests that it is because of our addictive relationships to the world. This is a convincing critique of the folly of our present worldview. This is a clarion call to trusting your own processes on your own journey through life.

Caveats: I could have edited this book and made it a much tighter presentation of her points; read the author's "When Society Becomes an Addict" first perhaps - just what in the hell are Lincoln Logs and Holograms?

But no matter, she pulls in a lot of exciting material and personal experiences. It's a great ride.

Loved the concept, but it was more like an infomercial for her other book. It never gets to the meet of things.

I picked up this book because it looked interesting at a used book store. I was pleased, but also let down. While I like the things that Anne is approaching, I do not like the way she approaches them. I find her book hard to follow, it jumps all over the place, and spends too much time on "fluff" I feel like she rambled on for 200 pages, and the other pages were where the actual information and revelations lied.

While I wouldn't recommend this book if you really want to read something enlightening, it is a nice little eye opener. Better used as a reference, or something to skim, because reading all the fluff really takes too long. I got to the end and wondered what I just read.
