Book Description
There IS more than this and you can have it! What keeps us from living the rich, fulfilling lives we desire? Judith Wright has found that too often we are tripped up by our dependence on seemingly harmless habits like shopping, watching TV, gossiping, and surfing the net. These are soft addictions, and they form a powerful net that traps us, preventing us from having more love and meaning in our lives. They fill up our time, but leave us feeling empty, asking, “Is this all there is to life? There must be more than this.”
Judith Wright’s fresh perspective and proven program invite you to overcome your soft addictions and discover MORE–a full, engaging life of more intimacy, purpose, joy, satisfaction and love. She promises a life in which you advance your goals and your vision every day. You will live more purposefully and feel more intensely, stop asking the small questions and start asking the big ones. You will fill your life with meaningful activity, and your soft addictions will fall away.
Educator and life coach Judith Wright coined the term soft addictions™ after years of working with students who came to her courses to get more out of life. They would experience insights in class but be unable to fully apply them to their lives. Wright found that her students were limiting their experience and enjoyment of life by engaging in unsatisfying routines. She discovered that these time wasters and draining habits, which she named soft addictions, have a powerful hold on us because they satisfy certain wants–to zone out, feel busy, numb painful feelings, or avoid anxieties–but ignore deeper hungers for love, beauty, spirituality and meaning. They substitute a superficial high or sense of activity for a sense of genuine purpose and fulfillment. In a very real sense, we become hooked on these habitual behaviors. But unlike drugs or alcohol, our soft addictions arrive in the seductive guise of a “normal,” socially acceptable activity.
There Must Be More Than This helps you identify and fulfill the deeper longings behind your soft addictions. Judith Wright’s eight-step program has now been used by hundreds of her students to overcome their soft addictions and open up their lives to a greater sense of purpose and happiness. There Must Be More Than This shares her methods, along with real-life, inspirational stories of success. Invite More into your life and know that you are living the life you were meant to live.

We Should Strive to Just Be Ourselves........2005-04-25
When I picked this book up at the library, I was reminded of the Peggy Lee song, 'Is That All There Is to Love?' I enjoyed the quotes interspersed by Mark Twain, Margaret Mead, Albert Schweitzer, Clarence Darrow and especially liked "The proper function of a man is to live, not to (merely) exist" by Jack London.
Soft addictions are described as unhealthy habits, unlike hard addictions (certain foods, alcohol, medications, cigarettes, bad thoughts, game playing), but they serve to drain our energies and sense of fulfillment. We use them as time wasters to provide a sense of activity to feel that we are achieving something -- but actually we are using these traps to avoid real problems. What we are doing appear "normal" (shopping, t.v. for company, computer games) but we are left with a feeling of emptiness and being unsatisfied.
The author, Judith Wright, confessed: "Only after I faced the unhappiness of my first marriage did I start on the path of personal growth." A man you trusted and loved in the beginning can inflict real damage to your whole being with his criticism and harshness. A man does not have to act tough to be a man (nor does he have to wear cowboy boots), but he shouldn't talk like a woman, either. It seems we have a need for elocution teachers again to show a young adult male how to lower his voice and not just act like a man but sound like one as well.
Being the mother of three sons, growing up with a brother three years older than I with only a father at home, I can honestly say I've been around men most of my life, and accepted each as an individual. Guess I was lucky that none were effeminent in any way. Returning to East Tennessee to 'retire' the first thing which bothered me was the way the men here talk in the higher register, and I commented that their wives had deeper voices than they. I don't (never did) sound like a man, but I have a definite Southern drawl unlike the Knoxville harshness -- which I developed while I was away. We talk like the people around us, everybody knows that. I look Knoxville (short, dark eyes, a natural wave in my natural hair, a fighting spirit for doing "what's right"), but I don't sound Knoxville, and the twain shall never meet.
Ms Wright lists various activities she says when overdone become soft addictions such as media, buying/shopping, sexual, risk taking, card games, crossword puzzles when done alone. Moods, self-pity, chameleon-like behavior, sarcasm, crankiness, evading and escaping social interrraction, oversleeping, isolation AND things (edible & consumable) like fast foods, coffee, snack foods, cigarettes, and brand-name merchandise: all can turn into addictions.
This book is interesting in the fact of learning these facts. After twenty years of developing personal growth programs, she and husband, Bob, have developed MORE through seminars, now on a web site and the eight-step program spelled out in this book.
Book is based on Christian values.......2005-03-15
There are some interesting ideas presented here. However it isn't a book for everyone: it is written from a devout Christian point of view.
If the authors were more clear about that on the cover and in the description, then that would be fine. But there weren't any clues until I started reading the text.
Here's an example from page 139: "We are meant to be addicted to God, but we develop secondary addictions that temporarily appear to fix our problem."
As an alternative, I'd suggest an awareness practice. They tend to be based on the same core material, and can work hand-in-hand with any set of spiritual beliefs.
Compassion for People with Soft Addictions.......2004-09-20
Judith Wright has put together a unique way of creating more success in your life by getting rid of the small things which rob you of time and energy. Being a slave of soft addictions is a much larger problem than people realize. She writes with a warm voice of compassion for those who are struggling. She give examples in the book which completely illustrate the problem and possible solutions. She isn't asking people to institute extreme practices in their lives. She offers real insight to the real needs the person's behavior reveals. This is one book you will be glad
Our Next Step.......2003-05-15
Judith Wright outlines for us the next step in our evolution as spiritual beings in a human body. No, it is not meditating till we ascend. It is paying attention to the details of our everyday life. As an author and director of The School of Spiritual Psychology, I know the rigors of making genuine change in one's life. Judith leads us to making the major decision needed to take this leap. Then she gives practicle steps to fulfillment along our path. We supply the commitment and grit to stay with her on the road.
This is the real thing.
Thank you, Judith.
Surprise.......2003-05-02
I'm not big on self help books, well most books. There are two I keep in my favorites shelf: 'The Little Guide To Happiness' and 'How To Win Friends And Influence People'. Both great books. The rest on my shelf is all fiction. But this book was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't looking for it. Instead a friend gave it to me. I'm glad she did. What a wonder!!

Fun, cute.......2006-09-11
Fun and cute summer read. It had the tendency to push the cliches to the very, very edge before backing off and saying "just kidding." At first, it made me nervous, but I was used to it by the end of the book and it was actually kind of charming.
The story is cute and sweet. .......2006-03-31
`This Must Be Love' by Kasey Michaels is lighthearted romance novel. Molly sets up Janie to on adventure in the first novel `This Must Be Love' (2003) while Molly agrees to take manager Janie's day-care center while she is gone in the book `This Can's be Love' (2004) the second novel. In this book Janie pretends to be high-price escort to a famous writer who is undercover as a nerd - and the romance adventure begins.
Falling In Love,.......2005-05-02
This Must Be Love by Kasey Michaels is a fun story about falling in love. I liked the characters and thought they worked great together. I enjoy fun stories like this one.
Humorous dialogue/disappointing plot.......2005-03-09
While I found this book to be full of good-natured humor, and the bantering dialogue between the couple was well-written, the plot was seriously lacking and the circumstances weren't very believeable. The beginning of the story dragged on-and-on. It was at least half-way through the story, if not further, before Jane and John began confronting the problem. From that point on, I found the clues too vague and the unravelling of the situation too confusing to follow. I'm still not sure exactly how it was resolved...the detective work at the end was rushed, especially compared to the slow-moving beginning to the story. Not well-balanced at all.
As well, Jack and Jane fell in love way too quickly, especially considering how mismatched they were. It's hard to imagine that after spending less than a week together, they were ready to marry "immediately" and live happily ever after.
Not bad by a long shot.........2004-03-21
The only problem I had was the fact I read the book that comes after this one "This Can't Be Love" before I read this one! Anyodd, it was a great read. I enjoyed the charactors, even though I pretty much knew what was going to happen because of reading "This Can't Be Love First". My view of Jane as a character changed immensely with this book, and I found her to be much like her wacky cousin Molly, only a tad more reserved. In the other book, Michaels portrays Jane as a dull stick in the mud spinster. These two books have made me quite the fan of Michaels works, and I will continue to read her books. I recommend this as a light read, nothing too heavy in it, take it with you on a beach vacation!
Book Description
SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE
For the past forty years, the homosexual activist movement has sought to implement a master plan to utterly destroy the family. Unelectable and unaccountable rogue judges have made a habit of inventing rights that not only don’t exist in the Constitution, but also contradict both the will of the people and the actions of the legislative branch.
Christians around the world have scrambled, wondering how to respond. How do we discuss this intelligently? What can we do to make our voices heard? In his newest release, Marriage Under Fire, Dr. Dobson addresses the dire ramifications of judicial activism and presents compelling arguments against the legalization of homosexual unions—mobilizing the Christian community to respond to a call to action.
"I understand both the busy-ness of daily life and the intimidation that the average man or woman feels in the face of this overwhelming cultural challenge. But we need to work together. Maybe you want to make a difference but you simply don’t know what to do. May this book encourage you for the battle ahead, as we fight to save the institution of the family ." --Dr. James Dobson
Why Not "Gay Marriage"?
Why shouldn't the definition of family be broadened and modernized? What harm could be done by two consenting adults who love one another coming together to create a binding union?
In this succinct analysis of the issue, Dr. James Dobson presents a compelling case against the legalization of “marriage” between homosexuals and the dire ramifications our nation could face: Same-sex marriage will destroy the fundamental principles of marriage, parenthood, and gender. Families will be increasingly unstable as their definition expands to incorporate multiple “moms” or “dads”. Legalization of gay marriages will lead to polygamy and other alternatives to one-man/one-woman unions. The divorce rate will be higher, making our children less safe.
Marriage Under Fire provides the foundations of a battle plan for the preservation of traditional values in our nation. Our response could not be clearer. The well-being of the family, and thus our nation, hangs in the balance. Now is the time to speak out in defense of marriage and the American family.
Story Behind the Book
I write to you today with a profound sense of concern and apprehension for the welfare of the family, and indeed for the future of our nation. I do not recall a time since the beginnings of Focus on the Family twenty-seven years ago when the institution of marriage faced such peril or when the forces arrayed against it were more formidable or determined. Barring a miracle, the family as it has been known for more than five millennia will crumble, presaging the fall of Western civilization itself. This is a time for concerted prayer, divine wisdom, and greater courage than we have ever been called upon to exercise.

This Book is Awful.......2007-07-06
First off, I must admit that I have not read this entire book. Honestly, I put it down in disgust after two chapters. Also, I must also say that I am biased in the sense that I am 100% in favor of gay rights. I am offended by anything that endorses discrimination based upon sexual orientation. However, that is not why I find this book to be, frankly, a joke.
I saw this book in a bookstore and decided to take a look at it. I of course had my own opinions, but I wanted to get a clearer view of why people are against homosexuality. I really hope that this book does not speak for that community at large. If this book is read without a critical eye, it is EXTREMELY deceptive. For example, it is written as a quasi-scholarly work, as if Dobson is trying to use his credentials as a Child Psychologist to make researched arguments against homosexuality that anyone can understand. However, the footnotes in this book are more like decorations than utilities. They are strangely absent in places where, in a real piece of scholarly work, they would be required. Thus, in many places, one must simply guess as to where he is getting his info and why he felt it was necessary to include.
Secondly, the book fails to adequately expound upon many of its large claims. For instance, early on, Dobson suggests that if homosexuality becomes permissible that laws regarding pedophilia would eventually be weakened. Following this, he quickly moves to another topic. The obvious question is, why? What does pedophilia have to do with homosexuality? Why will changes in laws regarding actions between two consenting adults affect laws regarding an adult and a child, who by the law can't consent to sexual acts?
Finally, there are spots in this book where it is just plain wrong. For example, Dobson states that the agenda of the homosexual community is to completely eliminate the "traditional" family. That is ludicrous. Without the "traditional" family, including, of course, heterosexual couples, implying, of course, heterosexual sex, the human population would die off. Advocating the elimination of the "traditional" family is basically then advocating extinction. Also, Dobson states that the two genders naturally fit together. Okay, this I can agree with biologically, as our anatomies clearly showcase this. However, Dobson also argues that this does not end at the biological level, but extends to the emotional and even spiritual levels. In and of itself, this is not a poor claim, but again, he must answer the question of why. He does this by saying that it is clear that this is not due to cultural or societal practices or norms, but because we were made that way by our creator. This is possibly the worst offense yet. As a trained psychologist, he must know that when one studies human thought and behavior, one can NEVER completely segregate nature and nurture. Any psych class in the world will tell you this on day one. It is an elementary part of the social sciences. Yet, he claims he knows that this is not the case in this instance, simply because one can plainly see that it isn't. This is wildly irresponsible for a person working in his field.
All in all, if I could give this book no stars, I would. It stands as a huge blemish upon the socially conservative community.
There is NO "Gay Agenda".......2007-03-28
There is no such thing as the "gay agenda" that the right-wing likes to complain about so much. All gay people want to do is be able to get married, adopt kids, and live their lives without constantly being told how "evil" they are. And by the way, anyone who actually takes Dobson seriously should do a little research into the number of social-scientists and researchers who have said Dobson has misrepresented their work.
This is a joke!.......2006-03-20
This book is outrageous! I would like to know where "Dr." Dobson received his PhD in psychology because they obviously don't have a strong program. Either they forgot to teach him fundamentals of statistics or the basics of APA's ethical standards.
Maybe Dobson doesn't know that a correlation study does not tell you the cause of a variable, no matter what. The only studies that offer evidence that variable A causes variable B are called experiments. This means that even if same-sex partner benefits were offered to gay couples in Scandinavia before traditional families started losing popularity, the fact that both are happening does not mean that one caused the other. My favorite example to demonstrate this point is that more churches in a city are associated with a higher rate of homicide. This does not mean that Christianity causes murder. Nor does it mean that murder causes Christianity. The cause for this relationship is population, which is associated with both higher homicide rates and number of churches. There are no experiments that I've heard of that deal with this topic, therefore it is impossible to say thatthere is evidence of same-sex marriage causing societal problems.
What is more frightening, and more probable, is that Dobson knows what he is doing. I'm not an expert, but I do to remember that lying about research for personal gains is unethical. What is the personal gain he seeks? It could be religious beliefs-which should never be the sole reason for law-or it could be membership in, and donations to, his organization Focus on the Family. If the second is the case, shame on him for fooling Christians into hating a minority group, something Christians were a victim of under Roman rule.
On a side note, it is unfair to call judges "activists" for not holding up your personal beliefs. It is really a benefit that judges are not elected because it removes them from the politics of re-election. They are able to stand up for what is right instead of standing up for what will get them votes.
Interesting but a few flaws in the argument.......2005-08-12
a couple of questions...
1. people either loved or hated this book based on where they are coming from. You will find little middle ground. I come from one perspective and with respect to the author's opinion, I personally disagree with him. We have enough problems in today's society that blaming a group of people with an "Agenda" sounds a bit like 1930's Germany. We should be focusing more on making time for our families and less blame and judgment of others... It starts with you.
2. Why are homosexuals blamed for the decline of the institution of marriage if they aren't allowed to participate? Flawed logic. Isn't it a bit absurd to blame (and it is blame) one population for something it has no part in. If homosexuals were participating and causing an increase in the divorce rate, then the argument has validity...
3. As a tax paying citizen you are allowed to get married to another tax paying citizen as long as you are of the age of consent. This has nothing to do with religious beliefs. It is a contract in the eyes of the law. That's why the civil marriage is separated from the church marriage. If the church doesn't sanction the marriage, it has the right to choose not to, but the right is still a right.
4. Finally, The constitution protects people's right to freedom of speech, and freedom of religion - which works both ways. Religious institutions have the right accept or object to certain laws (example: Mormon's don't drink alcohol, yet it's legal under the law). BUT there is a separation of church and state for a reason. Religion does not have the right to dictate its morals and values on the population. Each individual can adhere to those morals if they choose.
review.......2005-04-19
How is homosexual marriage an attack on heterosexual marriage? They are not stopping heterosexual people from getting married. Has anyone noticed the divorce rate? It appears as though heterosexual couples are doing a pretty good job of destroying heterosexual marriages on their own.

Super happy book!.......2004-12-11
It is refreshing to read a book where the characters jump out of the page, with distinctive, interesting, but real personalities! I wish my high school days were as exciting as this. I couldn't put this book down, although I initially bought it for the 13 year old niece. I can't wait for Tui's next book.
AMAZING debut novel!! It's, like, Shakespeare, you know?.......2004-09-25
I'm constantly on a search for great new books that combine a serious love of theatre with a sense of humor and real literary merit. Tui T. Sutherland's debut novel, This Must Be Love, is a treasure in those respects. Sutherland doesn't talk down to her readers, but she completely understands the voices, situations and inner psyches of her characters. Plus, the novel is saturated with theatrical and Shakespearean in-jokes that manage to work no matter what your level of knowledge. Midsummer Night's Dream devotees will love the way Sutherland has transposed every relationship and character in some way, making it come alive in a contemporary New Jersey high school, while for those unfamiliar with Shakespeare, This Must Be Love serves as an amazing, fun, smart introduction to his plots and characters. It might even make a Shakespeare reader out of a kid who thinks there's no way Elizabethan theatre could possibly pertain to his or her life.
Hermia and Helena have such distinct, fun voices, and Sutherland traces their friendship beautifully through its guy-inspired twists and turns. She even adds a few twists on the original twisted tale, for extra surprise! I spent the entire afternoon curled up with this book, always excited about what was coming, and pausing only to read some of the more hilarious sections aloud to my sister, who immediately read it next.
Sutherland's first novel is structurally innovative, an amazing read.... I would suggest it immediately to anyone who loves theatre, or who's ever marvelled at what fools these boyfriends be. It's such an impressive first book. I hope Tui T. Sutherland writes many more novels, because I will read anything she writes!
A humorous, present-day spin on Shakespeare.......2004-09-18
Most of this story, based on Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, is told though correspondence: emails, instant messages, notes, diary entries, and so on. Hermia and her best friend, Helena, are totally into theater. Helena, blond and brainy, gets the star roles while curvy, bubbly Hermia is stuck with commandeering the spotlight or playing a tree. Both girls are smitten with guys. Hermia secretly pines for her friend Alex, while Helena is gaga over the new guy, Dmitri. Hermia has dated a lot while Helena is waiting for that special soulmate, and she believes fervently that Dmitri is The One.
The plot quickens when Dmitri tries out for "Romeo and Juliet." Surely Helena will play Juliet, while Dmitri will be Romeo. Yet, Helena sometimes finds herself thinking about an ex-friend, Nick, who now hates her (or does he?). Helena would never even consider dating a popular football jock like Nick, even when her friends point out how nice and cute he is.
Hermia has problems of her own. Her drama teacher doesn't recognize that Hermia will someday be a famous actress, and should be treated accordingly. Her single-parent dad is way too controlling (one might consider the fact that her mother has left the family for another woman to be a big problem also, but the situation doesn't faze Hermia in the slightest). The drool-worthy Alex doesn't seem to consider her girlfriend material, but he does hatch a mysterious "secret plot" with Helena's help. And Helena becomes furious with her when Dmitri starts being a bit too attentive to Hermia.
Hermia and Helena each have a unique and distinct voice. Hermia's rapid-fire stand-up comic delivery contrasts nicely with Helena's languid romantic poet manner. Except for a few brief bits that I felt were redundant (notably, Helena's rather long-winded dramatic pining for Dmitri), the plot moves along rapidly and humorously, with lots of entertaining twists in the tale, making for an enjoyable light read.

Wonderful Re-Telling of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.......2004-09-07
Seventeen-year-old Hermia Jackson just knows that she would be absolutely perfect for the role of Juliet in Athenwood High's production of Shakespeare's ROMEO AND JULIET, as she is too good to continue getting stuck playing the roles of trees. Hermia's best friend, Helena Naples is Hermia's best friend, as well as a poet, and a believer of true love. She knows that somewhere out in the world is her soul mate, her one true love. However, given the amount of losers at Athenwood High, she doesn't plan on finding her Romeo anytime soon. That is until Dmitri comes into the picture. Dmitri is the new guy. He's mysterious, poetic, and a fan of Shakespeare. Helena just knows that it's absolute fate that he should land at Athenwood High at this crucial moment, and believes that it's the Gods that have brought them together. Hermia, on the other hand, thinks something strange is going on. However, only Alex knows the truth. Alex, Hermia's best-guy-friend, who has become her one true love, and secret crush. Alex grew-up with Dmitri and knows the real him. However, is he truly clueless enough not to know that Hermia is utterly in love with him? Then there's Nick Weaver, Athenwood High's star quarterback who acts totally wonky whenever he's around Helena, and, surprisingly enough, has decided to try out for the role of Romeo in the school play.
In Tui T. Sutherland's debut novel THIS MUST BE LOVE, she takes the premise of Shakespeare's sometimes ignored play, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, and embellishes on it, producing a wonderful cast of characters that will have both male and female teenagers reading all through the night. Drawing from ideas from teens living in the 21st century, THIS MUST BE LOVE is written in hilarious diary entries, instant messages, e-mail, notes, and more between the alternating voices of Hermia and Helena, that are sure to please even the pieckiest teen readers.
