Book Reviews of The Craving Brain: A bold new approach to breaking free from *drug addiction *overeating *alcoholism *gambling

Book Review: A bold new approach? Huh?
Summary: 1 Stars

I only write reviews on Amazon when the books are really good or really bad. This book is definitely in the latter category. I read the book once and assumed I missed something so I read it again. Nope, still couldn't figure out what the bold new solution was that the cover claims. The writing style is extremely boring and the author uses about 3 or 4 questions in every paragraph. How did this guy get published when he is asking the reader for answers? Don't waste your money or your time.

Summary of The Craving Brain: A bold new approach to breaking free from *drug addiction *overeating *alcoholism *gambling

Where do the roots of addictive behavior lie -- in our genes or in our environment, in our chemistry or in our character? In the Craving Brain, Dr. Ronald Ruden asserts that the roots of addiction most defintetly do not lie in our character. Rather, they lie in a complex chain reaction that originates in an ancient survival mechanism in the brain. When this system is inappropriately activated, it drives the body to crave, sometimes with addictive behavior as the end result. In clear, straightforward language, Dr. Ruden outlines his remarkable successful treatment program which he believes can cure this problem.

The Craving Brain offers crucial insights into the world of addiction. This revolutionary book will bring hope to millions of people who suffer from a wide range of addictions, from gambling and alcohol to drugs and food.
