The power of Habit - a great listen for atheists struggligh with AA
I just wanted to share something I've just listened to. Mixergy is a tech 'startup' podcast, but the host (Andrew Warner) did an interview with Charles Duhigg, the author of "The power of Habit". Some info here. Here is the link to listen (I hope this works...) https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/mixergy-charles-duhigg/id307744935?i=114667883&mt=2
They're talking about breaking habits and have some alcoholic specific ideas. Actually they spend a good amount of time talking about AA and why it works - they specifically touch on the concept of 'higher power' and why that works - and it has nothing to do with religion or god (in their opinion...). I've been struggling with the concept of AA & Religion and if you have, this is a great listen.
Oh, and I just bought the book hopefully I'll have more insight to share soon.
P.S. - let me know if that link works... if not I could possibly host the file somewhere.
