People often write me to ask if I know a good book on how to heal X.
The answer is yes. I do. Here is my reply to the most recent request.
Good morning, dear,
Kitties are good. I’m good. Roommate good. Etc. Thanks for asking. Hope you get to 100% again soon.
Last week I asked a good friend for books on healing sex addiction, that might have stories with examples of those who have made it through that, for another friend of mine. I searched the bookstores and online. When my other friend replied, he said, “Nothing is going to be as good as Katie’s books.”
I realized after doing the literature search that he was right.
This is certainly true of the abandonment issues, as well. In fact, just about any “issues” will become much clearer if you want to know the truth and do “The Work.”
You can go read all kinds of books that will analyze and over-analyze and come up with theories and methods, and basically commit the error that Einstein pointed out decades ago, which is that we cannot solve problems at the level of thinking that created them.
The specific quote is this:
“The world we have made, as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far, creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them.”
Quoted in Des MacHale, Wisdom (London, 2002).
However, if you want a level of thinking at which you *CAN* solve problems, write Worksheets and ask the 4 questions and do the Turn Arounds.
You will probably need help to begin. There is a free hotline on Katie’s site.
Do The Work Helpline:
Or, I can help you through, but that’s my business and I’d have to ask you to pay me, and if you use the free hotline you can save that money.
Before you even get the books, ask yourself one question: Do you want to know the truth?
If you do, go for it. If you find you do not, don’t bother trying to read these books or ask these questions. You will just go around in circles.

Love, Ann
