The Golden Book of Attitudes

Author: Father John Doe

Excerpt:
“Often it is difficult to ascertain the proper attitude in regard to the many phases of the AA program.  Lack of understanding at times proves a stumbling block to some in their endeavor to acquire the correct attitudes.

It is with the hope of clarifying these misunderstandings that we analyze the various wrong attitudes so often found in AA, and then give in each instance what in our humble opinion is the correct attitude.  They are given as a result of years of observation of hundreds of groups and thousands of individual members throughout the country.  Let’s take a look around at some of our AA ‘types,” some of their common foibles and faults, and then at the attitudes that might help correct those tendencies.”

Hazelden is extremely proud to once again offer this early classic recovery series. The Golden Books series is composed of fourteen booklets written by the late Father Ralph Pfau, known originally as Father “John Doe” who was an immensely popular lecturer and author. These treasured booklets offer thoughtful, positive advice on almost every human experience.  Helpful in examining character defects or in exploring the realm of spirituality, these booklets are firmly grounded in the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous.
