Book Description

Publication Date: October 20, 2005

Learn to make responsible choices and put an end to compulsive betting, spending, and risk-taking.

Many people make trips to the casinos, or play their favorite numbers in the lotto. But when does a harmless pastime become a dangerous addiction? Even "successful" gamblers who don't bet more than they can afford to lose could still be acting out an unhealthy compulsion. Applying Dr. Balasa Prasad's method, gamblers-whether a regular at OTB or a reckless spender -can learn to identify their psychological motivations for gambling. The book's six-step plan shows readers how to take responsible risks in life without gambling away security, money, or happiness.
