Breaking bad habits and overcoming addiction is challenging enough, but what if your bad habit is pornography or masturbation addiction? Society is so overly sexualised that addiction recovery can be hard to achieve in this area, to overcome pornography we need to understand the mechanics behind why we do it in the first place, and also look at the benefits of addiction recovery. Exploring this abstention-what it means, and how it can help us become better men is the first step on the journey to healing ourselves. We are so conditioned to believe that masturbation is just a normal thing to do that nobody ever questions it. Nobody looks at how damaging it can be to our mind, body, and spirit. In a way maybe we have all become a bit addicted! Pornography is so easily accessible these days is it any wonder many people have now developed an addiction? I first started looking into abstention around two years ago and I have never looked back. The techniques and ideas within this book have enabled me to break free from the conditioning and find not only my purpose but my power in life. It has enabled me to work on getting rid of other bad habits and increase my willpower to harness strength in all areas of life.

Many situations we face require a particular predisposition and specific behavior. We often can’t behave properly, not only because of a lack of awareness, but also because of limitations posed by our bodies. It is very interesting how much depends on the well-being and physical fitness of your body. Unfortunately, many people don’t know much about the processes that drive it. I will do my best to make sure that in this book you learn about important issues related to your physical well-being and how to use them in practice. Authorities on the subject: "Any failure to appreciate the impact of sexual arousal on one’s own behavior is likely to lead to inadequate measures to avoid such situations" – Professor Dan Ariely “So strong and impelling is the desire for sexual contact that men freely run the risk of life and reputation to indulge it. When harnessed, and redirected along other lines, this motivating force maintains all of its attributes of keenness of imagination, courage, etc., which may be used as powerful creative forces in literature, art, or in any other profession or calling, including, of course, the accumulation of riches.” – Napoleon Hill "Willpower is what separates us from the animals. It's the capacity to restrain our impulses, resist temptation - do what's right and good for us in the long run, not what we want to do right now. It's central, in fact, to civilization." – Professor Roy F. Baumeister “This book [Quit Porn and Get Rich] is needed and... Leer más…

Angela Browne-Miller Ph.d.

Considering the many ways people seek emotional pleasure, relaxation or escape in self-harmful ways - from excessive alcohol use and drug abuse to smoking, overeating, compulsive gambling, out-of-control spending and even lesser behaviors like habitual nail-biting - there are few of us who do not have, or know someone close who has, an addiction or habit they wish they could break. The problem common to all, says author Browne-Miller, is that psychological reactions to events have motivated behaviors which, in turn, have created biochemical reactions in the brain that actually wires it for repeating the habit or addiction. In this groundbreaking book, Browne-Miller explains simply and clearly how we can control our thoughts to rewire the brain and beat the pattern that spurs repeating harmful habits, and addictions.
