Publisher's summary

“So long, Carrie Bradshaw - there’s a new role model for go-getting thirty-somethings. Gabrielle Bernstein is doling out inner peace and self-love for the postmodern spiritual set.” (Elle)

Foreword by Marianne Williamson

Before she became a celebrated teacher and lecturer, Gabrielle Bernstein was going down a dangerous path. For years, Bernstein struggled with eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, and constant self-doubt and self-loathing. That all changed when she discovered A Course in Miracles, which taught her that much of what she feared in life was not frightening at all and, in many cases, not even real.

Now, Bernstein lives an empowered, healthy, and joyful life. In Spirit Junkie, Bernstein guides listeners through the life-changing lessons that shaped her spiritual journey: how we become accustomed to fearful ways of thinking, how to recognize and change those thought patterns to make way for bliss, and how to maintain our happiness and share it with the world. By understanding and changing our perceptions, hang-ups will melt away, resentments will release, and a childlike faith in joy will be reignited.

Praise for Spirit Junkie:

“For those ready to give up their addiction to suffering or who simply need to release the general malaise of a too-busy, too shallow way of life, Spirit Junkie is a soothing balm for the soul. Gabrielle Bernstein is a brilliant shining guide for all who seek to have more love, more light and more miracles in their life.” (Arielle Ford, author of The Soulmate Secret)

Critic reviews

"In this mixture of humor, grief and how-to instructions on achieving enlightenment, Bernstein offers more than just autobiography or a user’s guide to meditation.... A groovy blend of meditative and instructive writing." ( Kirkus)

Ingspiring

I loved it. It is exactly what I needed in my life right now. it's inspiring to make changes in your life. I will be re-listening to stay on track. Highly recommend.

nicely narrated, thoughtful, detailed

I ate it up or heard it all up :) like many, this book was guided for me to read. love how the author shows her vulnerabilities to teach and relate, I can see her transformation into a humble guide

hearing my life story from some1 else was strange.

bring a tissue and get comfortable, don't make any plans... and make sure you're not driving

amazing

thank you so very much for your teachings and love !! I will listen to this over as a reminder that only love is true!!

Guided by Spirit

A gift for the soul

The kind of book you want everyone you know to read! Truly a gift for your self and others. I LOVE this book and so does everyone I’ve ever given it to.

AMAZINGGGGG

You have done it again and again Gabby B! LOVE all this author's work, this book moved me so much! I am such a spirit junkie! :)

Loving my Spirit

Such an authentic book full of self love by a wonderful narrator. I love her Universe Has Your Back book too!

The way it seamlessly flowed. Such an easy listen!

I came to this book after listening to The Universe Has Your Back. I wish I had found this first, but now I will circle back and relisten to the other one! This book has so many vulnerable moments and flows so seamlessly. Before I was done listening, I had already sent it to 7 people! So worth the time to listen!

I am not sure what it is missing...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I am not sure, but I really like Gabby and her work but this lost my attention after the first half hour. Hum...
