The Advaita Path of Freedom from Addictions by Frank M. Wanderer

What happens when we no longer see addiction as an enemy, but instead try to understand what lies beneath it?

In The Advaita Path to Freedom from Addiction, the author explores the deeper layers of craving, the sense of lack, and the addicted identity. Modern psychology, an understanding of how addiction works, and Advaita self-inquiry come together around one fundamental question:

Who is it that is addicted?

This book does not promise a quick solution, nor does it teach you how to conquer yourself. It invites you to observe desire, understand the physical, emotional, and mental processes behind it, and discover the inner space where an urge no longer automatically becomes action.

Because perhaps freedom does not begin when desire disappears, but when you recognize that you are not what appears within you.a
