We all have our own little addictions: the chewing gum, that small online game we play to ´kill time´, playing with our hair, that special brand of chocolate or just the jelly. Do we need this? Are we aware why do we follow such habits? Can we live without it? Each habit can be built within one month, and un-learning some of them it´s possible. But as long as we don´t understand the root of those addictions, we cannot advance; we just keep repeating the same pattern, with a different content. Or addiction.
Little Addictions by bestselling author Catherine Gray is doing exactly this: trying to understand the cause and eventually the remedy. Gray is both the author and the subject of the stories, as she is trying to examine her own addictions, their roots and the comfort they bring with. Most importantly, it shows some examples about how one can be free. Free of all those pleasant sins. (I really loved the book, but I must confess I am not ready myself to part ways with my beloved morning cardamom coffee).
I´ve found the book informative, reflective as well as written with humour and understanding. If you are looking to change something in your daily life this year, this book may give you some inspiration.
