About the book: 2003 / This book will greatly benefit both 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 solve their problems. Dr. Deepak Chopra offers a completely unexpected look at bad habits, what they are, and the people who succumb 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 essence, a person suffering from bad habits is a seeker of happiness, but he is looking for it in the wrong place, where necessary, and wanders - perhaps for many years - in roundabout ways. True happiness is a return to the deep harmony of body, mind and spirit - the harmony that was characteristic of you at birth and can be found again. Having restored it, a person will no longer feel the need for stimulants, depressants and everything that needs to be bought, hidden, injected, inhaled, turned on and off. You didn’t need any of this as a child, when a sunny day and the love of loved ones was 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.
