Life on the Rocks
Author: Peg O’Connor, PhD
Overview
Addiction raises some of life’s deepest questions: Who am I? Do I have free will? How do I take responsibility for my actions? In Life on the Rocks, Peg O’Connor, PhD, brings a fresh and powerful perspective by exploring recovery through the lens of Western philosophy.
Designed for both treatment professionals and individuals in recovery, this book introduces timeless philosophical concepts—self-identity, moral responsibility, self-knowledge and self-deception, free will, fatalism, the nature of God, and our relationships with others—and applies them directly to the struggles and hopes of addiction.
Accessible and thought-provoking, Life on the Rocks provides a new way to examine and transform the meaning we make of our lives.
