"I used to drink," writes John Bradshaw, "to solve the problems caused
by drinking. The more I drank to relieve my shame-based loneliness and
hurt, the more I felt ashamed."
Shame is the motivator behind our toxic behaviors: the compulsion,
co-dependency, addiction and drive to superachieve that breaks down the
family and destroys personal lives. This book has helped millions
identify their personal shame, understand the underlying reasons for it,
address these root causes and release themselves from the shame that
binds them to their past failures.
