The Hidden Addiction: Behind Shoplifting and Other Self-Defeating Behaviors is based on the premise that people do not want to make their life any harder than it already is. When people are shown who they really are as individuals, and how to easily change their false and self-destructive thinking and beliefs, they can be guided to significantly alter their life solely on their own steam. The goal is to strengthen people so they can be who they want to be. This is done by presenting core issues in life, rarely taught at home or in school, in a practical and unique manner.
