Addicted to Others
Your Guide to Transformation: Rewrite Your Freedom. Reclaim Your Power.
By Dr. Elias Rubenstein – Author of Addicted to the Past and Addicted to the Future

Why is it so hard to truly be ourselves?
Why do we define our worth through approval, attention, or connection?
And why do we so often confuse love with adaptation, connection with dependency, and belonging with self-denial?

Addicted to Others is not an ordinary self-help book. It is an invitation, a confrontation—and a guide. It delves deep into the hidden mechanisms through which we lose ourselves in relationships: emotionally, mentally, physically, financially. It uncovers how we try to fill an inner void through others—and why that never works. And it offers something rare: a path out.

Dr. Elias Rubenstein, known for his spiritually grounded and practical works, does not stand outside of life offering psychological theories—he walks you through your own story from within. With clear language, profound insight, and radical honesty, he shows why we are not victims of our relationships but co-creators—and how, through awareness, reflection, and action, we can reclaim our freedom.

What is this book about?
This book is a roadmap to inner liberation. It exposes the subtle ways many people live under external control without realizing it. It sheds light on emotional dependency, guilt patterns, role-playing behavior, inner emptiness, the constant craving for approval—and all the mental excuses we use to protect and simultaneously betray our true selves. Yet this book doesn’t stop at analysis. It calls for transformation. Not through pressure, but through truth. Not through abstract concepts, but through direct realization.

Some of the central themes include:
  • The underestimated power of adaptation—and why we often live roles that harm us.
  • The hidden fear of rejection—and how it unconsciously shapes our behavior.
  • Why many people confuse closeness with neediness—and how real connection is born.
  • How guilt manipulates our thoughts—and how to finally let go of it.
  • The secret dynamic behind victimhood and emotional withdrawal—and how it can become a source of strength.
  • Why so many sacrifice their freedom to be loved—and how to reclaim it without losing connection.
  • How to rediscover your own dignity—and start treating yourself with true respect.

What makes this book unique? It is not theory. It is transformation.

This book doesn’t just move through your thoughts—it moves through your emotions, your bodily awareness, your decisions, and your possibilities for action. It is written in a style that does not merely analyze but touches. It does not preach but moves you. And it speaks in a language that is clear, honest, and alive—without jargon, but with depth. Without clichés, but with strength.

A new definition of connection—free from fear, free from dependency.

This book shows that true closeness begins not where two people need each other—but where they no longer lose themselves. It’s not about living in a perfect relationship. It’s about leading yourself—and building relationships from that wholeness that do not entangle but empower.

Addicted to Others is a book about freedom in connection. About bonds without entanglement. About love without emptiness. And about the strength to choose yourself—whether you are in a relationship or standing alone.
