Questions You May Have

The eBook draws from multiple sources, including seminal works like "Addiction and Change" by Carlo DiClemente and "Changing for Good" by James O. Prochaska. These works outline effective systems for change that are applicable to both bad habits and addictive behaviors. Additionally, the book incorporates insights from GYE's Flight to Freedom program and the experiences of successful GYE members. Importantly, the content is fully aligned with Torah & Hashkafa.
The principles covered are broadly applicable to various kinds of addictive behaviors or bad habits. However, if you're dealing with a relatively simple habit like forgetting to drink enough water, this approach might be more than you need. The book is particularly useful for those who have tried to change without success and are willing to put in serious effort. While GYE primarily addresses Kedusha-related challenges, the principles can be applied universally, although the examples will focus on Kedusha-related issues.
As Chazal instruct, one should teach concepts in the most condensed form possible (le'olam yeshana adam letalmido drerech ketzara). Our aim is to deliver a guide that can be read in under an hour—or even half an hour for speed readers. While the book is concise, implementing the principles will require time and effort. The results, however, are well worth the investment.
