Book Description
Have you ever wondered how you might carve more meaning and purpose out of your crowded days? The answer is simple: cut out the "soft addictions." As Judith Wright reveals in this revised and expanded edition of her classic self-help book There Must Be More Than This, many of us are addicted to seemingly harmless and socially sanctioned habits such as shopping, watching TV, and gossiping-robbing us of our time, clouding our clarity of mind, and masking our deeper longing for lasting joy.
According to Wright, soft addictions are seductive because they satisfy powerful desires-and we easily become hooked because they are perceived as "normal" behavior, behavior that doesn't seem to demand the extraordinary measures of a drug or alcohol addiction. Yet soft addictions do call out for action and in this groundbreaking book, Judith Wright explains why they are so damaging and outlines an effective plan for overcoming these negative habits to discover more passion, love, commitment, and meaning in our lives.

The real deal.......2007-09-01
Judith Wright has such a forgiving and refreshing approach to bad habits. The way she talks about "soft addictions" makes me feel so much self acceptance and understanding for myself and why I do the things I do. Instead of hating and indicting myself, I feel compassion and insight. I realize I am looking for something more meaningful and nourishing and that I can decide to do something different and have a completely different experience. Judith's "math of more" is a brilliant way to think about making incremental positive changes that add up over time. Instead of trying to quit something cold turkey, Wright recommends identifying what I am really emotionally hungry for and finding a better way to really satisfy that hunger. The other night, I was on a business trip and was starting to surf the channels on the TV, killing time and staying up too late. I caught myself and realized that I was searching kind of aimlessly for something that would interest me, excite me or somehow make me feel connected with something. I realized that I was longing for personal contact, so I turned off the TV, called my wife, talked to her for a few minutes and went to bed. I felt a little happier and slept better and longer. This seemed like a really small thing, but made me feel much better the next day. Wright combines her compassionate approach to life with a logical and very effective set of methods for making lasting positive change. This is the real deal - not just good ideas, but very practical, useful stuff, grounded in real life experience.
I love the "Math of More"!.......2007-09-01
I've read other books about stopping my soft addictions, but this is the first one that had me add something to replace them. It's making all the difference! I never thought I was indulging my soft addictions because I was missing something deeper in my life. I find myself asking my husband to take time to connect with me when I feel the urge to go shopping. I've been able to consistently get to work on time, when I've been a chronically tardy person. A little bit at a time, I am eliminating the clutter in my house. This book is very effective in helping me make more out of my life and my relationships!
powerful conceptual framework and tools for self-improvement.......2007-09-01
Judith offers a valuable framework for identifying self-defeating behaviors. She guides the reader to discover the underlying emotions and thought patterns behind undesirable habits. The comprehensive checklist of addictions that undermine me - was useful and I could identify more systemically how various behaviors interrelate. Knowing my system of soft addictions, the book provides a useful system and guide to plan ways to replace my bad patterns, by fulfilling the deeper hungers with more nourishing and satisfying actions. Using the "math of more," I'm able to spend my time and energy more wisely, bit by bit, to become more satisfied. I've added more dance, social activities, satisfying work projects, and it's helping me to limit my indulgences in food or laziness. I've found the book and training with Judith to be of immeasurable value.
good idea, long winded book.......2007-02-12
I think the basic concepts in this book are important and can help many people. That is, the idea that we all waste time and life's energy on meaningless activities, and that there is a better, more enjoyable, and more meaningful way to live. BUT, that said, this book is much, much longer than it needs to be. All of the important ideas could be gotten across in about 50 pages or even fewer. I found myself more and more bored, and did not even finish the book. And I am a person who generally always finishes a book once started. This book, I could not even slog through as it was just repeating the same thoughts over and over and over. It was also irritating that the author repeats the same cutsie little sayings over and over. Anyway I would recommend learning about this author's ideas, but I would not recommend reading this book.
A prescription for a more satisfying life.......2007-01-18
Judith Wright's book is a must for anyone who's been looking for a way to add more "good stuff" (like time, money, and love) to their life while getting rid of the bad habits (like overeating, procrastinating, too much TV) that get in the way of them. I've personally discovered how much time I've wasted playing computer games and sitting in front of the TV. Not to mention the unconscious eating I've done. I've lost 35 pounds without trying just by paying attention to what goes in my mouth rather than mindlessly munching.
And it's not about deprivation - it's about adding things that are more nourishing than computer solitaire or too much food. So I feel more satisfied rather than less and filled up rather than overstuffed.
As a physician, I see the effects of our Soft Addictions all day, every day. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

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!!
Book Description
Renowned for the innovatively styled facades of the buildings he designed, master architect Frank Lloyd Wright was also famous for creating many of their interior details. The first book to feature these elements in an expansive, photographic format, this elegant survey offers a comprehensive look at each of the 24 California homes and public buildings designed by Wright over a 60-year period--including the celebrated Barnsdall and Sturges residences and the Marin County Civic center--down to individual decorative details, such as furniture, lighting, and draperies. Complete with an introduction by Wright's grandson, Eric Lloyd Wright; 175 full-color photographs; and a thoughtful, concise text, this outstanding volume will make an important addition to the architecture and design bookshelf.

Wright's genius in all its amazing detail........1998-08-24
As a builder, I'm in awe at what this man did with materials. Why are we not all living in houses that inspire like these do? Have we forgotten that life lived fully is about beauty and adventure? Wright didn't. This is an exceptional book.

This book helped my son and myself end the frustration........1996-09-07
Taming the Dragons : Real Help for Real School Problems : The author explains the terms that we had heard many times and didn't have a true understanding of what they meant. The "Tips and Tricks" on each academic subject is easy to use. I find myself pulling out the book and looking at the "icons" that apply to my child with in a matter of a few moments my child has a way to approach the problem that he is able to comprehend. I have given this book to friends who have children that don't have a learning disorder. They find it to be a useful tool in helping their child with the struggle of challenging homework. If there was to be a "handbook" for parents and teachers to come to common ground this would be the book
A must-read for anyone involved in educating an ADD child........1996-09-05
Knowledge is a lot like fertilizer; it is only useful when it is spread around, helping young things to grow. With her book "Taming the Dragons", author Susan Setley has turned her twenty years of teaching children with ADD and other special needs into a fountain of information for the professional educators and the parents responsible for the education of children who have attention problems. Too frequently, these children are the "square pegs" who cannot fit into the "round hole" of the conventional classroom. As a result of their disorder and their frequent inability to benefit fully from more traditional educational methods, children with ADD often develop academic deficiences unrelated to their intelligence or innate potential. Rather than labeling these children as "problems" to be corrected, author Setley offers specific techniques to enable children who suffer from ADD to succeed academically. Her methods of adjusting teaching and class room environment to foster student achievement are useful not only for the 3- 5% of American children who have ADD but could be beneficial to any child who has difficulty in an academic environment. As someone who tutors adults in basic skills, I have to wonder how different my students' lives would have been if they'd had a Susan Setley for a teacher when they were young
Full of great techniques that have worked for us!.......1996-09-02
This book, great at explaining learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder, was one of the most useful I've read. The language is easy to understand, and full of wonderfully simple, concrete examples and tips. I was able to take specific ideas and put them to use immediately!
Ms. Setley's tip on using index cards for writing assignments has made a big difference not only in my son's compositions, but has helped reduce his frustration level when faced with the task. We've also used this method when studying for spelling and social studies tests.
I would highly recommend this book to any parent or teacher working with a child with learning difficulties. Wish I'd had it a couple of years ago!
Book Description
Why make New Year's resolutions you know you won't keep? According to seminar leader and cofounder of the Wright Institute, Judith Wright, there are any number of ways you can better your life-you can quit smoking, start exercising, save toward a bigger house-but the attainment of real life satisfaction requires a fundamental shift in perspective, the ability to make the One Decision that will completely transform the fabric of one's life.
This powerful book demonstrates how to isolate and articulate the One Decision that will lead to the life you want to live, and how to allow this simple yet profound choice to become the guiding force in everything you do. Follow the "30 Days to Your One Decision" program at the end of the book and watch your life transform for the better . . . forever.

Change your thinking...Change your life!.......2007-05-17
Excellent book. Full of New Thought spiritual principle and practices in action to create a more positive, vibrant life. And great quotes as well!
Great book for the right people!.......2007-01-13
Many people send a lifetime looking for their path. Many people give up in the process and live ordinary lives. It is a choice. It is a decision.
I read all the feedback written on this site. I respect that their opinion is coming from the place of where they are at that particular time.
This book is inspirational. This book isn't for everyone. If you are hearing the dialogue in your mind answer, "Then, who is this book for?" Then reading this book MAY be right for you.
We can only go as far in life as the five people we surround ourselves with. This is so true and its taken me over half a life time to learn this. But this includes books too. If we read negative topics, we will attract negative into our life. This is the way the universal energies, and quantum phyics proves this, works.
Even if we are upbeat person, living with such negative media exposure can get the best of people down. Reading books like Ms. Wright's helps to balance, reignite that positive way of living that we need to attract our desires.
Ms. Wright uses the word MORE many times throughout the book, TRUE. That's repetition. And there is a reason for repetition. This is the way human's learn. We don't absorb things just because we placed a book under our pillows. We need to hear messages, good positive messages over and over again.
I would have enjoyed the book had it been 75 to 100 pages less, however, I do believe Ms. Wright was writing from a place of soul, a place of universial energy.
If someone is lost on what ladder their wall should be leaning against, this book will help propel and stablize that ladder. I wish many of these great books were available when I was a teenager. I could see my path being so different than it has been. I am glad Ms. Wright wrote this book. For the right person needing it at the right time in their life it will be a valuable gift. Ms. Wright shares years and years of wisdom. And to receive that for the small amount of $14.95 is quite a miracle actually.
Writing a book isn't a profit making venture for a writer unless it sells over 100,000 and hits the best seller list. So for explaining where you can find out more about what she has to offer is a fair exchange for the price of her experience. In fact, I consider it more than fair on the part of the purchaser.
When one picks up a book, one should be asking if it is a match for them at the moment. This is usually figured out in the first few pages of the book. If it isn't the right time, sometimes the universal laws bring it to us to place on the shelf for when it is the right time.
Occasionally, the book has only one chapter we need to hear -- either the first time, or for repetition because, knock-knock, we didn't get it the first time around, or maybe the tenth time around.
I suggest reading the first chapter. If it isn't a match, read the table of contents. If the universe sent a message for you to purchase this book, there is something for you to growth with and/or learn. Look for it. Lightly meditate or ask the universe for the answer. It will answer if you are open to hearing the answer. Then follow its direction. Maybe just maybe you were given the message to get the book to give it as a gift to someone special in your life, maybe not. But for whatever reason the book found you, you may want to listen to what it has to say.
We are discussing this book during the month of January on the Let's Talk Coaching radio show. My co-host Lisa Kincaid and myself were surprised by the material. We read it and nothing seemed to mesh on occasions but when we allowed a little time, we felt the authors energy, and messages, new thoughts began to occur for us. And some of our listeners told us they felt the same way.
This is why I give this book 5 stars, which I seldom do. This book is part of the process of life, about keeping the negative of the world at bay, and about living with our ladder on the right way and not wasting years wondering where the wall is.

No Help.......2007-01-10
This is a frustrating book. The implication of the title and jacket blurb is that once you decide what to commit to, you can boil that commitment down to a single statement which then magically guides all your decisions for the rest of your life. The whole book is about what life is like after you make your One Decision, without explaining how people formulate their one decision. The 30 day program at the end of the book consists of living your life as if you had made your One Decision, which will then lead you to formulate your One Decision, which will then enable you to live as if you had made your One Decision. Instead of this book, pick up Robert Fritz's Path of Least Resistance for his description of fundamental, primary and secondary choices. He doesn't promise a single magic bullet, but he's a lot more direct about how to create a vision, make choices and get results.
I made my One Decision & it changed my life.......2007-01-04
I saw this author on tv last year and bought the book -- and I have to say that it has been extremely helpful. The concept of what the "one decision" is, and her clear steps to figure out what your decision is, were essential for me this past year. I used the principles in the book throughout most of 2006, and because I did I found that I was more focused about where I put my time and energy -- and as a result, the effects in my life were astounding. I enjoyed my family more, I did better at work, I started (and finished) creative projects that have been meaningful, and I noticed an improvement in my health. I did all of this using the information I learned in the book. This has been one of the most inspiring and practical self-help books I've ever read.
Judging this book by it's cover..........2006-03-12
The title on the dust jacket of this book is backed by hundreds of small, faint phrases, all starting with the word "MORE," like MORE LOVE and MORE WEALTH. You'll read the word, in caps, throughout the inside of this book, too, perhaps to remind you that you don't have enough in the first place. (As an antidote, read "How to Want What You Have: Discovering the Magic and Grandeur of Ordinary Existance," by Timothy Miller.) Ms. Wright has a business to run and nowhere is this more evident than when she writes, "Living your One Decision requires support, encouragement, inspiration, and training." She provides it all, too, with a website, a team of coaches and seminars galore. Frankly, I think this is fine. Humans that we are, we can use some support in pursuit of things that aren't easily had. Just be warned that this book is a funnel to MORE of what the author wants you to buy, as well. The text itself is rambling but, again, it's what's on the cover that gets my attention, this time 'round back. There, celeb endorser, Ken Blanchard, is quoted as saying, "The power of The One Decision by Judith Wright lies in the fact that it's great advice being offered with no strings attached." Really? Then why is the author pushing the need for her coaching, and seminars, and other things? Did Blanchard even read this book? And did the other fellow-authors, whose quotes are used?

Great Crit of Movies by Genre.......2006-06-25
This is basically an updated and revised edition of "Film Genre: Theory and Criticism" published in 1977. As a system of filmmaking, genre has been one of the most important factors in making the cinema both an art and a highly successful form of popular entertainment. Divided into 2 parts, this anthology covers the full range of theoretical issues and critical approaches involving film genre. The essays in the second sectoin analyze a wide variety of particular genres, including westerns, science fiction, film noir, etc. A detailed bibliography, organized by genre, is included.
Book Description
Reflecting 50 years of friendship, these letters record a lively conversation between two equally strong female writers; both relished the play and beauty of words, and their first and most powerful link was through poetry. Within their correspondence—which encompasses lovers, husbands, children, books, art, writing, music, politics, gardens, and travel—there is joy and sadness, chaos and loneliness, success and failure, gossip and philosophy. More than 300 of their letters have survived, providing a rare and deeply moving insight into a long-standing female friendship.

This book can open your eyes if you want them opened........1998-03-30
I read this book years ago and it really woke me up. Everything in it is a hidden truth. I double-checked the references just to make sure. I must commend the author for her courage to write such a book. It is not easy to stand up against the world who worships the other god, the rival of Jesus Christ. This book alleviated my guilt about not buying Christmas presents for everyone and celebrating the holiday in its traditional manner. I also understand what Jesus means when I read the scriptures and feel much closer to God than ever before.
The only fault I could find was with the publisher who didn't proof read and correct some of the punctuation.
ABSOLUTELY THE WORST book on the subject........1998-02-25
This work is not a scholarly book about Christmas. It is simply an angry person's point of view about Christmas written by an individual who does not have the credentials to back up or justify what she has to say. The story is organized to justify her point of view about Christmas. Her research work is flawed and therefore what she has written "is not" the truth about Christmas as she so brazenly states.
About time!.......1998-02-15
Through out time there has been lie's and misconceptions perpetrated on the mass of people.Judith Wright has put into word's just one of these lie's.Good job Ms.Wright with more people like you out there,this country will truly be a free country.
