If you have ever wondered if there is more to life than you know, then Judith Wright is eager to fill you in. Wright, author of There Must be MORE Than This felt there was something missing in her already successful life and went looking for it. What she identified was the desire for MORE life, MORE love and MORE meaning. Her book not only helps you uncover your own desire for these things, but addresses what she believes is one of the biggest obstacles to having the MORE’s in your life.

Soft Addictions is the term she uses to describe the behaviors, patterns and choices we all make to numb our feelings or avoid dealing with the difficult parts of our lives. These ‘time wasters’ can be habits, compulsive behaviors, reoccurring moods or thought patterns that take up our energy, focus and time but leave us feeling unsatisfied and less present to ourselves and our lives. Wright says if we “have a pulse”, we have a soft addiction. The key is to be aware of which ones we gravitate towards and a commitment to overcoming them. If we do that Wright promises us a more fulfilling life in which our visions become reality.

Throughout the book are stories exemplifying the role of soft addictions in the lives of clients who have attended her institute and their efforts to recover from them. Although at times the book becomes somewhat repetitive, overall, Wright does an effective job of explaining what she means by MORE, the how and why soft addictions enter our lives, and a step-by-step process of how we can take back our power from them. If you are looking for MORE life in your life then this book just may provide the direction that will lead you to just that.
