Summary: Short little book but worth a read.
Review: Glasser examines the idea of Positive Addiction with running at the very centre of the book. Book is not that long, but tends to be somewhat repetitive... but still worth a read. Not Glasser's best book but even at that, the ideas he shares are good.. and the positive addiction idea does trickle into other parts of life, so that someone who is positively addicted to running or swimming or cycling, tends to feel better and can take that good feeling to other things they do. If people became more positively addicted to good relations with others... WOW! what an outcome that would be..and (third time said) Book is well worth a read..

Summary: I'm sure he meant well...
Review: I'm sure William Glasser meant well when he wrote this book. It's short, but it still never should have been a book. In my entire life, I don't think I've ever read a book that says only one thing, but says it over and over. If you read the first chapter, or even the back cover, you have his entire theory. The entire book repeats the theory over and over, and doesn't add any new information beyond what you read in the first few pages.It's amazing to me that this wasn't just written as an article in some psychology magazine. The entire book could *easily* be condensed into an article of 2-3 pages.

Summary: This Book a Positive Experience for Me
Review: This book was a positive experience for me.
It helped me become more focussed at work and at home, and helped me realize that even a daily walk or some significant activity every day is vitally important. Human beings were not born to sit around, we were born to be active. Just look at the famous artists who lived into to their 90's because they loved what they did like Chagall and Grandma Moses. If you are positively addicted to what you do, then you will live a long life and love it. The key is finding your niche and running with it. A book should be written about people who love their careers and how this positive addiction helps to fuel other parts of their lives. My father gave me this book. It is an easy read, but a smart book. Jeffrey McAndrew
