"Drawing on his experience as a psychiatrist working with the chemically dependent, May emphasizes how addiction represents a doomed attempt to assert complete control over our lives. 'Addiction & Grace' is a compassionate and wise treatment of this important topic, offering a critical yet hopeful guide to a place of freedom based on contemplative spirituality. This 'Plus' edition includes two additional essays by Gerald May not included in the hardcover version" --Cover, p. 4.
