About the Author
Dr. Hirschfield was born in France and came to the United States with his family at the beginning of World War II. Jerry became a U.S. citizen in 1946, and subsequently entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he earned a B.S. degree in electronics engineering.

Positive Change,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Twelve Steps for Everyone ... who really wants them (Words to Live By) (Paperback)
I have to say that I have been around the 12 Step program for many years... both my parents had severe drinking problems... recovery was went through many times... but they never "worked" a program... as I watched their problems, felt the pain of their problems... and lived with the side effects of them... I never deeply examined what "I" could change. This book helped me see where "I" have to make changes... that the only person I can control is me... I reccommend this book as just a basic format for life!

This review is from: The Twelve Steps for Everyone ... who really wants them (Words to Live By) (Paperback)
I am not a religious man. I do not attend services of any religion. I am an engineer; I do not believe in that which I cannot detect and measure. And yet the words in this book took me to God, and He changed my life. So here I am, 21 years later, living a good life and writing this short review.
Can I guarantee that this book will do the same for you, that it will take you to God as it took me? Of course not. But the words in this book speak well to the miseries of addiction we inflict upon ourselves, and when truth is felt, big changes happen. At the lowest point of my life this book spoke its truth to me and helped me to hear God's quiet words and feel His powerful love for me. Perhaps it can do the same for you.
