Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Drawing from the Iroquois Peace Confederacy, Twelve Step recovery programs, and Rumi's poetry, this work provides an analytical framework for understanding current social systems and suggests transformative changes for a paradigm shift. It unifies systems theory applicable to personal and social issues, emphasizing that individual health is intertwined with societal functionality. The authors focus on successful behavioral models, such as the recovery model and the Twelve Circles of the Iroquois Nation, demonstrating how these can address unhealthy social structures. The book argues that the addictive paradigms binding us to society hinder our growth as independent thinkers. It exposes these systems while advocating for a new vision of recovery that encourages us to change our perspectives, allowing us to navigate life more freely and break away from restrictive patterns. Esteemed figures highlight its significance, noting the powerful metaphor of addiction as a cultural belief system and the necessity for fundamental systemic change. It challenges readers to confront societal taboos and toxic patterns with honesty, positioning itself as a crucial wake-up call for those who value family and freedom.
