If this review on Amazon.com does not convince you to buy my book, what will?
"Having struggled with addictions and self-destructive behaviour for most of my life, this book found its way into my hands through synchronicity.

I have read a few 12 step guides to dealing with addictions and self-sabotaging behaviour, and I have to say, this one is the most comprehensive and interactive books that I have read. It helped me to take another step forward in my healing journey.

The author speaks openly and honesty about his life, and the struggles that he has had on his path, which stemmed from his childhood.

The book gives you personal activities to do, case studies, and personal notes from the author as well; a real holistic package which examine each step from multiple angles. There will be something for everyone to relate to in this book.

This book also delves in the spiritual side of ourselves, without any fearful or religious dogma attached to it. The author explains what has worked for him as he found his truth, and encourages you to find yours using the 12 steps.

This book really touched my soul and I could relate to so much that was written, especially parts about people pleasing! This is so unhealthy and exhausting.

Thank you Freddie for sharing your life and experiences with me in such a loving and compassionate way. "

"Hi Freddie
I just have to tell you... my mother is now reading your book for the second time. The way she loves that book ... she sits there and makes notes. She even asked me for a second copy to give to someone else. She thought it was important for this person to learn what she is learning. But, she is now working through her one again. She just LOVES is. Just wanted to let you know."

‘As human beings, we have learned to control so many things in life, that we tend to believe that we can control life. And therefore we believe that certainty should be a given. While if we look at life in general, uncertainty is the given,’ says author Freddie van Rensburg. We asked the experts...

One most amazing review, by John, of my book, Life Anon: A 12-step guide to life for non-addicts. Read and buy the book:

"Life Anonymous?? For people addicted to Life??

According to Richard Rohr*, a globally recognized teacher and writer, "Most people's initial level of free response is very limited. While thinking they are surely 'doing their own thing, they are almost totally programmed, conditioned, and addicted to everybody else's thing and everybody else's wounding. Substance addictions like alcohol and drugs are merely the most visible form of addiction, but actually we are all addicted to our own habitual way of doing anything, our own defenses, and most especially, our patterned way of thinking, or how we process our reality"

We're all familiar with Alcoholics Anonymous, an organization credited for the rehabilitation of millions of alcoholics worldwide for over 60 years. Along the way, many other addictive disorders have (thankfully) been recognized: addiction to narcotics, overeating, Anorexia, sex/love addiction (more properly, an Intimacy disorder), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Codependency, anxiety, anger, to name but a few.

The approach all these 12-step programs follow, is to dig below the manifesting addictive behaviors to identify the so-called underlying character defects, ie. the root causes of these addictive behaviors - typical examples being anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, fear, etc. In doing so, recovering addicts come to realize that the same character defects which manifest in the presenting addictive behaviour, are also manifesting simultaneously in other life-related aberrant behaviours and that the 12-step principles of recovery can be applied in those areas also!

Building on Richard Rohr's premise, Life Anon recognizes that everyone is addicted to something! .... that we ALL need help in one way or another. Life Anon thus adapts the 12 step program to address these same principles (and steps) to Life in general.
In recognizing that we react (rather than respond) to circumstances in unhealthy ways we are able to change these behaviours.

Life Anon is a workbook, being a very practical guide to identifying our aberrant behaviours and finding ways to remedy them.
Just as the traditional 12-step program has been invaluable to me in my journey of recovery from a recognized addiction, I have likewise found Life Anon invaluable in recognizing and correcting life-related aberrant behaviours.

Highly recommended!
