When women are denied the rest they need - whether from social pressures and obligations, wanting to do too much in too little time, or a deeply rooted sense of guilt - they are cut off from the true source of their power. In her debut book, Daring to Rest, Karen Brody came to the rescue of worn-out women everywhere with a transformative program for reclaiming rest through yoga nidra, the art of conscious relaxation.

With its deeply personal and seamless blend of memoir, cultural history, literary criticism, and reportage, The Recovering turns our understanding of the traditional addiction narrative on its head, demonstrating that the story of recovery can be every bit as electrifying as the train wreck itself. Leslie Jamison deftly excavates the stories we tell about addiction - both her own and others' - and examines what we want these stories to do and what happens when they fail us. All the while, she offers a fascinating look at the larger history of the recovery movement and at the complicated bearing that race and class have on our understanding of who is criminal and who is ill.

We rely on willpower to create change in our lives...but what if we're thinking about it all wrong? In Willpower Doesn't Work, Benjamin Hardy explains that willpower is nothing more than a dangerous fad - one that is bound to lead to failure. Instead of "white-knuckling" your way to change, you need to instead alter your surroundings to support your goals. This book shows you how.

Publisher's Summary

In his recovery from drugs and alcohol, Chris Grosso has stumbled, staggered, and started all over again. In an effort to understand why he relapses, and why many of us return to the myriad of other self-defeating behaviors despite our better judgment, he went to best-selling authors, spiritual teachers, psychologists, doctors, and more, and asked them why we tend to repeat mistakes in our lives, even when we know these actions will harm us and the ones we love.

In Dead Set on Living, Chris shares these intimate conversations and the practices that have taught him to be more loving, compassionate, and forgiving with himself as well as new meditation and healing techniques he learned through his journey.

Unabashedly honest and inspiring, Dead Set on Living is essential listening for anyone seeking a path towards triumph over adversity, understanding the human condition, and rebuilding relationships after promises have been broken.

Great material but unnecessarily crude language

Interesting with a lot of good interviews and ideas about getting and living well sober. My one complaint is that the language is unnecessarily crude with many F%$*^! bombs throughout - as if that means his experience was the worst of the worst compared with everyone else's. It was hard to distinguish his words from some of his great experts which left me wondering if most of the spiritual leaders I admire also speak as crudely when not overhead.

Other than that, good information. I am not convinced his addictive behavior was so much worse than everyone else's experience. Active addiction is painful to all involved and I see no reason to make it a competition.
