The author is a man of great insight who imparts the lessons he has learned through his own recovery through amazing humor and wit. This book encompass a philosophy: one of life, recovery and sobriety. Chuck went from being a tongue chewing, babbling idiot to one of the most serine and happy men on earth.
He tells his story through this work.
Here is an excerpt from the dust jacket:
"In a world of proliferating pop-psychology and self-help publications, a reasonable questioner might wonder if A New Pair of Glasses serves any purpose whatsoever, and, if so, what makes it different."
"I think the two most significant factors contributing to the special value of this book are that they represent the backbone of applied principles from the single most dynamic and successful philosophy of this century . . . . discussed by a man who went from a "tongue-chewing, babbling idiot" to one of the most charismatic men in the world”
