Provides a clear picture of why and how the obsessive person approaches their daily life. I couldn't rate this book at 5 stars simply because I'm not knowledgeable in the subject field and wouldn't know if I was reading one of the best books on the subject - But I did enjoy it, and I think it offers information of value in an easy to read format. I am an obsessive person, with over 65 years of experience in how to implement the lifestyle. I found the author's explanations clear and easy to understand, though his tidbits of actual patient encounters didn't always se. Accurate and scary Humbling. I'd like to smile upon those who have been able to admit to themselves that they need help with this subject. I don't know Allan, but he sure does know a lot about me! So far about 92% of what he says resembles me. Some of the characters in his book could easily be replaced with my name. Quite scary.Hope to journey together with all of you!Post any tips or resources, please!Best of luck.. Five Stars This is an excellent book that provides great insight into the mind of the obsessive.Highly recommended.
