Publisher's summary

Based on the innovative premise that addiction is not limited to drugs or alcohol, but is truly about the over-the-top, out-of-control lifestyles that have detached Americans from each other and their spiritual Connections (with a capital “C”), Dr. Carol Clark looks at addiction as something in and of itself, a condition rather than a substance abuse or behavioral problem. She then offers practical strategies for change that will ground and connect the listeners so they may find happiness and fulfillment in their daily lives. Covering this topic from the addictive process of disconnection—whether from use of technology or gambling, drugs or sex—through recovery and Connection, Clark’s strategies provide the tools necessary to create fulfilling and truly intimate relationships in every facet of life by shifting the root of the addictive behavior patterns to a place of clarity and acceptance.

Describing and defining how repetitive, addictive behavior affects the human brain and causes the disconnections we experience with our families, friends, and co-workers in a profound, eye-opening manner, Dr. Clark’s book takes current addiction theory down a new, groundbreaking path. Addict America: The Lost Connection uses simple, personal language to make the complexity of the condition and the human brain understandable. Dr. Carol Clark is a sex therapist, and addictions counselor, and director of Therapy Certification Training. Her spiritual journey has allowed her to develop an emotional and intellectual awareness of addiction as a condition that permeates all aspects of people’s lives. From prisoners to celebrities, businessmen to artists, Dr. Clark’s work has helped individuals from a variety of backgrounds find a better life.
