The Addicted Soul goes where few have dared to tread and takes the reader behind the closed doors of many teenagers and adults who are challenged by any of a variety of addictions. The debilitating effects of addictions – from the Internet to shopping – threaten to ruin the lives of individuals, families and society in general, and Rabbi Goldwasser’s long-overdue book focuses on this neglected segment of our population.
