Christopher Kennedy Lawford discusses Recover to Live
Event on 2013-01-16 18:00:00
Harvard Book Store is pleased to welcome bestselling author and mental health advocate CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY LAWFORD for a discussion of his latest book, Recover to Live:
Kick Any Habit, Manage Any Addiction; Your Self-Treatment Guide to Alcohol, Drugs, Eating Disorders, Gambling, Hoarding, Smoking, Sex, and Porn. The discussion will be moderated by Harvard's HOWARD SHAFFER, a pioneer in the field of gambling addiction, and will feature special guest and former U.S. Representative PATRICK J. KENNEDY.
For most of his early life, Christopher Kennedy Lawford battled life-threatening drug and alcohol addictions. Now in recovery for more than 25 years, he works to effect change and raise global awareness of addiction in nonprofit, private, and government circles, serving as the goodwill ambassador for drug dependence treatment and care for the United Nations.
For the first time, Recover to Live brings together all of the most effective self-care treatments for the seven most toxic compulsions affecting every culture on the planet today—alcohol dependence, drug dependence, eating disorders, gambling, hoarding, smoking, sex, and porn.
In Recover to Live, more than 100 of the world’s top experts interviewed by Lawford share their research and wisdom on how to determine if your bad habit is becoming a dependency, what treatments will work best for you, how best to help yourself or a loved one recover from addiction, and how to lead a fulfilling and productive life in recovery.
