About this ebook

In an emotionally revealing way John Bradshaw shows us how toxic shame is the core problem in our compulsions, co-dependencies, addictions and the drive to super-achieve. The result is a breakdown in the family system and our inability to go forward with our lives. We are bound by our shame.
Drawing from his 22 years of experience as a counselor, Bradshaw offers us the techniques to heal this shame. Using affirmations, visualizations, "inner voice" and "feeling" work plus guided meditations and other useful healing techniques, he realeases the shame that binds us to the past.

This important book breaks new ground in the core issues of societal and personal breakdown, offering techniques of recovery vital to all of us.

The complaint is less about the book and more about Google. They are selling a broken book. I asked for a refund and they refused. Beware buying books from them. If you like their reader, you're better off buying it somewhere else and uploading it. Do not support these scumbags if you can avoid it. I was able to read the book fine the first day. After that, it would close the book after a few minutes. Then the next day it wouldn't even open.

Seems like a good book, but it regularly fails to load pages and crashes to the point that it's unreadable. I don't have this issue with other ebooks. My guess is the ebook is outdated to the point of becoming incompatible with the current Google Play Books app. Get a physical copy instead or use another ereader.

Completely unreadable due to issues with the file, causing repeated crashes at shorter and shorter intervals the further into the book you get. I have redownloaded the file multiple times, cleared the app's cache and even redownloaded the Play books app. All to no avail. If you must buy this book, get it from another source.
