This book will be of great benefit to millions of people who are trying to get rid of bad habits themselves, and millions of their relatives and friends seeking to help these people in solving their problems. Dr. Deepak Chopra offers a completely unexpected look at bad habits, at what they are, and at people who have succumbed to them. Despite the fact that bad habits bring us both physical and emotional suffering, this book is about pleasure and prosperity, love and hope, health and happiness. In fact, a person suffering from bad habits is a seeker of happiness, but he is looking for it not where it is necessary, and wanders - perhaps for many years - in roundabout ways. True happiness is a return to the deep harmony of body, mind, and spirit, a harmony that was inherent in you at birth and can be found again. After restoring it, a person will no longer experience the need for stimulants, depressants and everything that needs to be bought, hidden, pricked, inhaled, turned on and off. None of this was necessary for you as a child, when the sunny day and the love of loved ones were enough to fill you with happiness. This openness to love, this ability to connect with the world around you, is still with you, and you can easily and painlessly revive it.
