Great book on the bright side of sobriety

Revisado: 04-26-22

So, let’s get the bad out of the way. This tries kinda half-heartedly and unconvincingly to be a program of recovery. The journal prompts are boring and don’t really lead to any real powerful insights. I skipped them.

But, what the book does really well is lay out a strong case for sobriety for people on the fence and give an outline of what a joyful, well-rounded recovery will look like. What I always missed in AA was a real look into why I drank (resentment, being broken, and lack of a higher power were not my problems). Also, I am the kind of person that feeds off of positivity, success, and happiness. Sobriety as the absence of alcohol is not enough of a motivator. But leading a life full of physical vitality, connection, balance and growth appeals to me. As the author says, we are lucky because alcohol led us to a place of change and can awaken you to your true calling and potential. Good read!

Classic wisdom

I read this book years ago and the lessons are still fresh! I have a terrible habit of not following through on key tasks. This book is simple, but sometimes it's not that you need to learn a new skill as much as you need to remember the reason for focuing on an old one. Good book!

I love the insights in this book. A must read for those working with the law of attraction. The narrator was clear and upbeat and the chapters were laid out well. I did not find the section on tapping useful because the technique has never been helpful for me. But, that is a tiny critique. Overall, great book!
