WOW!

This was a really helpful book that acted as the light at the end of the tunnel when I was trying to quit smoking. I had wanted to quit for years and found it virtually impossible. This book helped me to achieve "the impossible."Anyone who is adicted to something and reaching out for a book to help knows the truth--you're hooked and you need some help. Preaching a ton of facts that only make you feel worse won't help. Shubentsov cuts to the chase and reminds the reader of the inner strength each person has inside necessary to break the chains of addiction.This book was by my side for the better part of a year as I continued to fight the urges with Shubentsov acting as my tough but loving coach. I have since passed my copy on to my mother and have bought copies for friends and other relatives that struggle with addictions.If you're looking for someone to tell you that you have no control and that there is no hope for you, this is NOT the book for you. However, if you're looking to end the vicious cycle of addiction, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. It may very well change your life...

Unwelcome news for Jenny Craig, Richard Simmons, etc.

This practical guide to overcoming addictive behavior should be required reading - if only for the controversial nature of the "boot-strapping" approach! Molly-coddled Americans will blanch at Shubentsov's take on dealing with our cravings: RESIST! Fight back! Stop being such a sissie! "What are you - a man or a mouse?" Personal initiative is prized here, and it's a refreshing change from the victim mentality offered by many therapies and so-called "self-help" programs. For help in steeling your resolve, read this book!

Yefim is THE MAN!

He's charismatic, funny, down to earth yet quirky... just visited his clinic for compulsive overeating and whatever he does (it isn't hypnosis) is doing wonders for me... can't wait to read the book.

Incredible must read for everyone.

Not only for habitual addictions, this book puts a new perspective on inner strength. With all the quit smoking programs I have attemted over the years, this book has given me the insight and strength to give it up for good. Using unconventional tequniques, he has shed light on the strengths we all have, but fail to use.The day I picked up this book, was the day I quit smoking.

Shubentsov is a God-send to anyone suffering from addictions

Yefim Shubentsov's book is written for those who feel that some aspect of their life is out of control. His book is informative, humorous and very easy to read. Shubentsov shoots down common myths regarding weight loss, self-esteem, and smoking addiction. He replaces these myths with solid, common sense advice that will help anyone to regain control.Shubentsov explains the principals and how-to's behind bioenergetics...the amazing science that he has used to erase addiction, craving and pain in over 96,000 people, one of which was me!
