I am not really the self-help book type so this book just is not really something that I personally would choose to read or tell my friends about. However, I do think that this would be a great book for someone who does enjoy that genre and would benefit from reading a self-help book. If anyone were to ask me specifically for a book from this genre I would definitely recommend a book like this. This man has truly taken his experiences and used them to help others and that is something that I really do admire. I think that it can be an inspiration to people to see that it is possible to get better and overcome addictions such as sex and drugs. However this may not be the path that everyone needs and should take, this book definitely opens minds and can show that there is the possibility for improvement and it does not need to come through typical treatment. As long as there is an improvement, what you are doing is good for you.
