About this title: Bound to provoke controversy, a scathing and witty look at America's obsession with self-help. In the name of individualism, Kaminer concludes, the self-help movement has created a cult of victimization in which everyone is labeled abused. But instead of offering a cure, Kaminer offers a perspective that will change the way readers think about recovery.

"Great message! This exposes twelve-step programs for what they are--a mechanism through which others, in the guise of being helpful, attempt to manipulate and control your life. The author takes the position that the best way to overcome addiction--alcohol, drugs, sex, etc.--is to decide that you will take power over that thing instead of resigning yourself to powerlessness and substituting something else--usually the man upstairs or some religeous organization--to control you. Taking control of one's own life makes sense to me, but it may only work for ornery, independent cusses like me who refuse to let others have power over them. Sadly, I have observed that the majority of persons would rather have someone else think for them and make all their decisions for them--the type for whom faith is their only refuge. Perhaps that is why this book was out of print the last time I checked. How unfortunate!"
