After years of drug abuse and dealing, Kevin Clark's life was spiraling downward. Food and money were hard to come by, and he was in and out of jail. He burned every bridge he had. Eventually, he ended up homeless, and he wanted out. All the while, he had a vision of a book of titles. Dreaming up book titles kept him alive at times. He began writing titles down on anything he could find. High and alone in a hotel room, he would write them on hotel stationary. Hungry and cold, living in a car, he would write them on napkins. Finding himself in prison again, he cried out to his father, God, to please help him. God answered his prayers. At his sentencing hearing, the judge gave him an option of a court-mandated rehab program. During his recovery, his vision for The Book of Titles became clear. Just as the titles were God's gift to him, he would like to share this gift with you.

Bestselling author and renowned Buddhist teacher Noah Levine adapts the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and Eight Fold Path into a proven and systematic approach to recovery from alcohol and drug addiction—an indispensable alternative to the 12-step program. While many desperately need the help of the 12-step recovery program, the traditional AA model's focus on an external higher power can alienate people who don't connect with its religious tenets. Refuge Recovery is a systematic method based on Buddhist principles, which integrates scientific, non-theistic, and psychological insight. Viewing addiction as cravings in the mind and body, Levine shows how a path of meditative awareness can alleviate those desires and ease suffering. Refuge Recovery includes daily meditation practices, written investigations that explore the causes and conditions of our addictions, and advice and inspiration for finding or creating a community to help you heal and awaken. Practical yet compassionate, Levine's successful Refuge Recovery system is designed for anyone interested in a non-theistic approach to recovery and requires no previous experience or knowledge of Buddhism or meditation.
