Description

“So long, Carrie Bradshaw—there’s a new role model for go-getting thirty-somethings. Gabrielle Bernstein is doling out inner peace and self-love for the postmodern spiritual set.”—Elle

Foreword by Marianne Williamson

Before she became a celebrated teacher and lecturer, Gabrielle Bernstein was going down a dangerous path. For years, Bernstein struggled with eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, and constant self-doubt and self-loathing. That all changed when she discovered A Course in Miracles, which taught her that much of what she feared in life was not frightening at all and, in many cases, not even real.

Now, Bernstein lives an empowered, healthy, and joyful life. In Spirit Junkie, Bernstein guides readers through the life-changing lessons that shaped her spiritual journey: how we become accustomed to fearful ways of thinking, how to recognize and change those thought patterns to make way for bliss, and how to maintain our happiness and share it with the world. By understanding and changing our perceptions, hang-ups will melt away, resentments will release, and a childlike faith in joy will be reignited.
 
Praise for Spirit Junkie

“For those ready to give up their addiction to suffering or who simply need to release the general malaise of a too-busy, too shallow way of life, Spirit Junkie is a soothing balm for the soul.  Gabrielle Bernstein is a brilliant shining guide for all who seek to have more love, more light and more miracles in their life.”—Arielle Ford, author of The Soulmate Secret

    I loved the teachings in this book so much I gave a copy to my adult daughter. My opinion as a therapist who gravitates to the intersection of spirituality and psychology: the author condenses the core teachings of Christianity and all major religions (while not using religious terms - which is useful for those turned off to religion but maybe not to God) and imbeds them in a context similar to cognitive psychology. This is the first book review I've written and I wrote it because this is a potentially life-changing book.
  • Guided by a dear friend...

    I learned of Gabby on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday. Though it was my first introduction to her, something in her presence spoke to me. I did a little Google-ing, and decided to purchase 'Spirit Junkie'. What a wonderful decision. Much in the vein of Marianne Williamson's 'A Return to Love', 'Spirit Junkie' is like a dear friend telling you about their life and spiritual transformation (based on the teachings of 'A Course in Miracles') over a kettle of tea. Gabby's writing style is friendly yet direct, hip yet easy to identify with, and gives direction without scolding or nagging. She guides you effortlessly on a journey of forgiveness and release whose end point is a fearlessly led life anchored in faith and love. Thanks, Gabby! I am an official Spirit Junkie!

    This was by far the worst book I have ever read. Every chapter became more painful. Do not buy this book. I would eat a razor to get my money back for this.
