transpersonal psychology and recovery from addictions,
By
This review is from: The Wide Open Door: The Twelve Steps, Spiritual Tradition, and the New Psychology (Paperback)
For those familar with AA's Big Book wanting to connected with their higher power and go on to oneness with the higher power. Tav Sparks compares the 12 step program of AA to Eastern Yogas and presents the steps and promises as a Western yoga with union of consciousness with the higher power as being the esoteric goal of the recovery process. Included are some modern means of accessing transpersonal reality such as holotropic breath work. The book may be hard to follow if one is not familar with any of the 12-step programs, yet, it is not technical but heart-felt and inspiring.

This review is from: The Wide Open Door: The Twelve Steps, Spiritual Tradition, and the New Psychology (Paperback)
This is a phenomenal book! Tav Sparks integrates, in tangible terms, the Twelve Step approach through the recovery "crossroads" crisis which affects all Twelve Step practitioners. There are some very good listings in what he calls The Treasure Trove--11th Step Doorways, with enough explanation to prevent the hocus-pocus paranoia common to less traveled searchers. For those seeking 11 step practices I would strongly recomend this book.
