In The Role of Will in Addiction and Recovery, Ms Boone addresses the puzzling, contradictory, and misunderstood will with clarity and compassion. Her wisdom and intuition breathes life and understanding into an abstraction that has baffled humanity for ages. Ms Boone fleshes out will and the reader consciously experiences will as a concrete reality. Conscious awareness of will is the first step toward its proper use. Will is a spiritual organ. Learning right use of will is an arduous task for us on our spiritual journey. Will is a powerful spiritual tool we can use judiciously to accomplish anything our heart desires when we come to understand it and respect its sacred nature. Ms Boone provides specific exercises designed to help the reader develop qualities of will that can be used to arrest addictions and create a meaningful life.
In a bold stroke of insight and genius, Ms. Boone locates the specific area of the brain through which will operates. It is in this same location that addictions take root and become equated with other survival behaviors such as eating, breathing and procreating. This discovery provides powerful insight and believable evidence for addiction as a disease, not a moral failing.
