Some books and reviews on Buddhist Recovery

What you get: We have tried to include as much information as possible on each title, to help you find books that speak to your own situation. For each title we have included technical information, a list of chapter headings and selected excerpts. Book reviews can also be posted.

Ordering: Buddhist recovery books tend to be specialist titles with limited distribution. You may need to ask your local retailer to place titles on order for you, or to purchase them online via services such as www.amazon.com. This website provides links to Amazon. (For Australian residents, the distributor Windhorse Books have created a recovery section on their website. You may be able to order titles locally from them.)
