New Perspective

I’ve found the book The Five Gates by Lynn Kesselman worth reading. My mother gave me this book  and  I’ve found it to be helpful in many ways. I haven’t personally dealt with drug or alcohol addiction, but I have a close friend who has. I’m trying to think how to approach her about reading this book. It’s a book that anyone can benefit from, but addicts will get more out of it than those without addictions. I personally believe that the book has helped me deal with certain personality traits in my own life that I don’t like, but as I said, I think the book is geared more towards those who have addictions.

I am known to my family and friends to be a bit obsessive compulsive. The Five Gates book is a book that can help with this type of disorder as well as drug or alcohol addiction. Certain parts of this book seem as if the author is speaking directly to me! It’s a bit creepy to tell you the truth. I am still reading it and haven’t finished yet. Maybe if I tell my friend who has a drug addiction how much this book has helped me I will convince her that it’s a book she should read as well.

Until next time…
