by Noah Levine

Book Overview

Bestselling author and renowned Buddhist teacher Noah Levine adapts the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and Eight Fold Path into a proven and systematic approach to recovery from alcohol and drug addiction--an indispensable alternative to the 12-step program.

Customer Reviews

The Buddha’s teachings as a guide to recovery. Don’t miss this outstanding book.

The best book on recovering from addiction with Buddhism as your guide. Written from someone who has walked the path, with definitive steps to take written in a relatable way but not watering down the Buddhas teachings one bit.

Alternate approach to recovery

This book & the whole RR approach to recovery has changed my life! A year ago I was faced with court ordered addiction treatment included attending self help meetings. For me personally, the other type of approach (AA) just didnt flow & I struggled through it until I stumbled upon RR. WOW! It just makes so much sense to me to take a Buddhist approach to life including recovery. It feels so much more natural to me to seek the light that I have always had within myself. Thankfully my court ordered nonsense has ended, but I still go to RR meetings every week and swear by its approach to recovery. Check it out- what do you have to lose?
