Book Reviews of I Shop Therefore I Am: Compulsive Buying & the Search for Self
Book Review: Very hard to understand
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is very hard to read. I felt like I needed to be a doctor to understand it. I also don't understand why it is so expensive. I emailed the author to see if I could purchase it somewhere cheaper. I got a response back from her assistant that I would not be able to buy it anywhere cheaper. I checked with my libabry and they did not have it ( or did any in a 100 mile radius. I even asked them if they could get it for me. They even told me it was too expensive for them to purchase. Great Huh!! So I eventually went to my local borders and went to purchase the book. Of course the book was not there, so I had eo special order it. The book's final price came to over $70. After reading it, I was very disappointed about the price. I do not feel the this book is worth that kind of cost. I would feel very terrible if I was the author charging people who are having problems with shopping and money. How dare she tell us how to over come our problems but then not give us any other way to buy her book. I eventually got cheaper books that were much much better, then this overpriced dust collector!!!!
Summary of I Shop Therefore I Am: Compulsive Buying & the Search for Self
Compulsive buying is a serious, often secretive affliction, with profound emotional, social, occupational, and financial consequences. As many as a quarter of us have problems with buying, and studies suggest that between one and six percent of the population are full-fledged compulsive buyers. I Shop,Therefore I Am: Compulsive Buying and the Search for Self brings together, for the first time, the most important thinking about this disorder. As more and more therapists encounter compulsive buying (whether as a presenting problem or revealed in the course of ongoing therapy), the need for an in-depth clinical understanding of the disorder has grown. Dr. Benson has responded admirably to that need with a practical, comprehensive, and wonderfully readable work. A Jason Aronson BookCompulsive Behavior Books
