Took me a while to really be sold on it but the more I read is the more I began to realize how great it is.

The main reason I say this is cos its such a no nonsense crash course/self help book. I love info delivered to me in such precision format like this so it really 'dug' it.
I think it is remarkable that the book is 15+ years old and, although there are probably some tweaks to be made, it hasn't needed to be revised. Jack Trimpey really did a good, thorough job on this; I regard it as one of the most important self-help books ever written.

I think based solely on RR:TNC there really isn't any ranting. Rather, there is some important deprogramming—and he needs people to understand that recovery group meetings and AVRT are like oil and water.

If you read his blog though, there are some quite heated statements on there.
