Description:
When we hear the word 'addiction', we almost always think of excessive use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs or food. Deepa k Chopra, a physician and specialist in the field of Ayurveda (the traditional Indian system of medicine), does not limit himself to these well-known, or to severe forms. Nor does he refuse to conform to the current, one-sided approach that addiction is a 'very serious problem' that must be fought tooth and nail. The confrontation and the fear that underlie it do not yield results in the long term, according to the Ayurveda specialist. Chopra wants to penetrate to the core of unfreedom from a positive perspective. 'Although we will talk about real physical and emotional pain, this is primarily a book about health, joy, pleasure, wealth, love and hope', says Chopra.

Compulsive behavior is in fact an everyday phenomenon and everyone knows what addiction is. The starting point in Vrij van vers Laving is that addicts are misguided seekers; seekers of pleasure, fun, and even a spiritual experience. They are looking in the wrong place, which causes the desire for a fulfilling life to emerge in a distorted form. But the impulse to search for more Joy of Life is very valuable, and can initiate the process of inner development.

Chopra first investigates what addiction is exactly. How is it that people fall into compulsion when fulfilling their needs? What is the connection between body and mind? Are there different types of addiction or are there multiple manifestations of one phenomenon? And: what do you experience with addiction? Through meditation, exercises and a diet, he provides guidelines for restoring the balance between need and satisfaction. In this way, he wants to bring addicts back to the fundamental answer to their compulsive habits: joy in living.

Free from Verse Laving is a wise and positive book that offers everyone insight into our addictive tendencies.
