A skeptic's guide to the 12 steps
Phillip Z. (Author)
"A Skeptic's Guide to the Twelve Steps is for anyone involved in a Twelve Step program and for those curious about the Twelve Steps. It can serve as a non-traditional guide to those working the Steps and to those who want to broaden their understanding of the nature of addiction and the recovery process. Phillip Z. shares his struggles, discoveries, and personal changes as he takes his journey through the Twelve Steps, drawing on Jungian and transpersonal psychology, Eastern spirituality, and generous doses of the Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous) and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. He's able to weave these elements together to work a meaningful program that allows him to live the principles of those Steps daily."--Page [ii]
