In WELCOME HOME the author shares the journal of a person who is on a journey of personal growth. Anyone who is likewise seeking to live a life with less self-doubting and more inner peace can identify with and gain insight from the thoughts that are shared. This is a book which I pick up and just turn to a page when I'm needing some help. I am always surprised that I seem to find just the nessage I need to hear. I also like the self-help exercises.

Having a master's degree in counseling psychology, I highly recommend this book to assist in one's personal growth. I found the information very helpful in my own self-exploration. I also enjoyed the visualization exercises and suggested affirmations.

I first read "Welcome Home" 9 years ago. Just recently I picked it up again and, with the passage of time, found a deeper insight into myself, my children and grandchildren. Bless you for this understanding.

Hi my name is Linda. Thanks for this opportunity to let you know about a great book in which Dr. Gelb targets the deep, underlying issues and insecurities that drive many addictions. I have found the information supportive and helpful. It is like having your own teacher and friend whenever you need the support. I highly recommend this book to get in touch with the wonderful life one could be living and deserves to have.

Having never been involved in any form of addictions(or that I was aware of )this book was a real eye opener in so much as things that I as a new immigrant in a new country had difficulty comming to terms with found help,advice and solutions to fears that were facing me.Getting in touch with one's most inner feelings is always a hard thing to do as your judgement is always clouded from a subjective point.The main thing is that this book is user friendly.Thank-you for helping me to understand myself.

A thought provoking, insightful read. A personalized guide to exploring both the positive and negative feelings about oneself and addiction. Highly useful for visualization and centering.

This little book is one that doesn't demand a read from cover to cover. One can open it to any page, at random, and gain inner-strength. The diary format has inspired me to keep my own journal of events and my feelings about, and reactions to, those events. There is ample room in these pages to write your own thoughts and affirmations. I am not a self-help-book junkie--oops, addict--because I easily get bored with case studies (which I've found most of them are). This one is down-to-earth and elicits positive responses and actions from the reader.

As a minister, I have had forty years of experience in mental health and my counseling has been primarily with addictive behaviors. I have never found literature that is so user friendly as "Welcome Home" for assisting people to overtime addictive behaviors.
