Summary: Addicted to Unhappiness makes me happy!
Comment: I have read this book which is the first self-help book that makes sense to me. People do not intend to be unhappy (I know I don't) and yet I always wondered why I did stuff I did not want to do and had trouble doing stuff I wanted to do. This book is practical and really helful. Get it!

Summary: Read this and improve your relationships!
Comment: Until I read this book, my relationships were pretty turbulent. I did manage to pick good friends and partners, but then the bickering started. What I learned from Addicted to Unhappiness is that I was importing from my childhood anger when others don't want what I want. So when a friend wanted to see a different movie, I would feel irritated and that irritation woul color the evening. This book gave me good ways to rethink my responses when others don't make the same choices I would make - my relationships are going more smoothly and a life-long bad pattern has been broken. There islots of help in this book for every type of relationship problem -- even for people having trouble finding relationships. This is really a cut above any self-help book I have read.

Summary: Good ideas, straightforward approach
Comment: If you buy this book, you probably want to change something about yourself. The key premise of this book is that people sabotage themselves (usually in several ways) because they have been taught to confuse happiness with unhappiness. Being unhappy and engaging in self-defeating behaviors becomes the norm for these people. As a result, they find it nearly impossible to change their self-defeating behavior. By confronting our self-sabotage for what it is, and perhaps understanding the reasons behind it, we can begin to change the behavior, substituting healthy behaviors and seeking out true happiness instead.
Does this book work? I believe it does. I am an ex-smoker after having read it. The book helped me to see my smoking for what it really was: a way of harming myself. It also helped me see how much more intentional the harm was - how I had lied to myself that I "enjoyed" smoking when in fact I hated it. I decided to quit (using the approach outlined in the book) and have been smoke-free for over a month now. I found that I had much greater willpower in myself than I ever had admitted.
