Over the past 20 years, I have counselled dozens of people who have had pornography issues, in the context of my faith community. My books are based on material I have produced to help them. I enjoy researching topics and explaining them clearly to others.
Few things are as demoralizing as the feeling that you're trapped. Porn traps its users in a cycle of frustration, self-loathing and despair. In such a weakened state, is it surprising that so many good men struggle to find a way out? This book can help you to change the way you think, so you can find the strength to leave porn behind and pursue a life of success, satisfaction and fulfillment.
Don't judge yourself too harshly for your porn habit; the dice were loaded against you from the start. Getting into porn was a mistake, yes, but an understandable one. And there is hope. Thousands have escaped from porn already; this book is full of insights to help you to do the same. A practical program you can start implementing today. Religion and spirituality optional.
How To Be Unstoppable Every Day Of Your Life
on Aug. 26, 2015
After a note saying you can only quote very small excerpts in books and scholarly journals (he wishes!) followed by several pages of ads, the book eventually gets to the point.
It's not bad I suppose, although much of it is trite. ("When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!")
Some of it, though, is bad advice. For example: "Visualize the person that you want to be. On the flatscreen of your mind, create your ideal self. This person is happy, healthy, glowing with confidence and inner peace. Now imagine that this ideal self is being interviewed on a really great day." The latest research is that visualizing your ideal self is DEMOTIVATING. What you should do is visualize yourself taking actions that will lead to your success.

Perhaps most importantly, the book doesn't live up to its overblown title. Even if you do everything it says, you won't be unstoppable every day of your life. Sorry!
My Situation Has Changed

Although I'm pleased to read that the author is doing better, I was a little disturbed at this book. Indeed, it's hardly a book at all, more like a journal entry. I felt like I had intruded into someone's personal space by reading it (which took about one minute.)
