This book is a timely interjection into the state of craving and addiction. Dr. Omar Manejwala provides tools to understand the root cause of our craving, providing useful tools and means with which to overcome them.
Tonight, we are honored to sit with Dr. Omar Manejwala and talk shop, ask questions, and engage in the process of gaining a deeper understanding of Craving and what that means for those of us working in the addiction field. Stay tuned for a follow-up blog.
