Infos

Sean Harrison completed his studies at one of the most prestigious medical centers in New York City in the spring of 1982. For three decades, he worked in a profession where he excelled and provided his family with a lifestyle, he never dreamed possible. For it is a far cry from his senior year of high school when his classmates voted him as "e;the most likely to be dead by the time he's thirty."e;Harrison shares his life story, revealing how anyone open-minded and willing can experience a dramatic shift in consciousness, from an inner-ghetto mentality to a new way of being. Harrison focuses on what he calls the four pillars of addiction fear, guilt, resentment, and self-pity responsible for most of the unhappiness we see in the world today.Out of the Ghetto is designed to help the addict and non-addict alike, offering practical ways to erase the errors of our past and begin anew. Harrison s fundamental belief is that anyone who suffers from the pain of living can change the way they live by altering their thoughts, free from the ego s distorted perceptions of reality.Praise forOut of the Ghetto Riveting, revolutionary, and raw, this is a book for the ages.
