The self-help landmark which has led millions from addiction into revitalized lives is currently faithfully condensed and introduced by PEN Award-winning historian Mitch Horowitz.

Since its publication in 1939, Alcoholics Anonymous has taken a ray of light in to the world, rescuing countless people the milling compulsion of addiction and inspiring the global “twelve-step” movement.

Right now, historian and New Idea writer Mitch Horowitz offers a concise however wholly faithful abridgement and intro to the “Big Publication,” suitable for newcomers who are first encountering its suggestions, veterans looking for a refresher, and anyone interested in this vintage of religious self-renewal.

The genius of Alcoholics Anonymous is that its twelve-step program could be applied to any addiction or area of life where you are crippled by compulsion, whether gambling, medications, debt-spending, chronic overeating, or whatever endangers your wellness and deters you from a existence of vitality.
