Your Path to a Better Life

Change is a natural process that can lead to true happiness by helping us reach our full potential. It is also the answer to solving many of our problems. Unfortunately, sometimes we are afraid to change. We become creatures of habit. We find ourselves feeling bored, unsettled, lonely, depressed, or out of control. We wonder if change will fling us from the frying pan into the fire, or we want to change, but we don't know how.

In The Art of Changing, self-help teacher and author of Addiction to Love Susan Peabody brings the process of changing out of the shadows and into the light by sharing the lessons she has learned from various disciplines, including 12-step programs, over the last twenty-plus years. Susan offers inspiration and direction by exploring such topics as willingness, the 12 steps, taking action, getting help, helping others, building self-esteem, embracing spirituality, treating depression, healing the wounds of the past, and forgiving ourselves and others. This book will show you how to change your life by changing yourself, and in the process fulfill some of your most cherished dreams.

"Susan Peabody clearly has great insight about change born of experience and study."

From love that hurts to love that heals.

For almost fifteen years, Susan Peabody*s seminal work, Addiction to Love, has helped tens of thousands of people overcome the distorted thoughts, feelings and behavior associated with love addiction. Love addiction manifests itself in many forms, from the fatal attraction-type obsessive love addict to the less extreme, but nonetheless psychologically and emotionally devastating ambivalent love addict. Even when you are not in love you can be addicted to your partner and caught up in a "I hate you don*t leave me" relationship.

A recovering love addict herself, Susan provides an in-depth and easy-to-follow recovery program for those suffering from this painful and often dangerous addiction. For those looking for a love with the right person, Susan explains how to create a loving, safe, and fulfilling relationship. This third edition also includes a new introduction detailing the progress that has been made in the field of love-addiction therapy over the last decade.

"Love addiction is a three-headed serpent that Susan Peabody adeptly slays. This is the quintessential book for any love addict or counselor needing to fully understand this highly prevalent and complex disorder. This book makes it possible to take the succinct steps necessary toward a loving and reciprocal long-term intimate relationship."
