Advice Goddess Radio -- Tonight, 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET: Dr. Stanton Peele On The Personal Responsibility Approach To Overcoming Addictions, Bad Habits
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.
Addiction treatment specialist Dr. Stanton Peele will lay out his groundbreaking thinking on the personal responsibility approach to addiction and kicking everyday bad habits.
Peele will talk about how to fight addiction without a 12-step program. He'll also bust many of the myths many people hold about addiction -- as well as the excuses they cling to for why they can't overcome their self-defeating, destructive behaviors. He'll offer practical thinking and steps for change.
We'll be discussing unhealthy love and relationships as well as substance addiction and more minor and common bad habits.
Peele wrote a really fantastic book, co-authored with Archie Brodsky, called Love and Addiction, and more recently, and also very wise, the book, 7 Tools To Beat Addiction, which we'll be discussing on the show. He blogs at Psychology Today and The Huffington Post.

And don't miss last week's show with a rare non-scientist, Maggie Arana, for whom I made an exception (in the kind of guests I have) because I think her book has tremendous value.
Her book, which she co-authored with Julienne Davis, is Stop Calling Him Honey...and start having Sex! How Changing Your Everyday Habits Will Make You Hot For Each Other All Over Again.
She and her co-author talked to hundreds of men and women, over a period of several years, and figured out the bad habits people get into that kill their sex lives and transform them from lovers to roommates.
Maggie details all of that on the show, and I promise you, listening to this show will help you mend your ways...all the way to a hotter sex life.
(Or, if you aren't in a relationship, she'll help you avoid killing your sex life once you get one!)

Very nice show. A person can tell that he thinks of you as a peer.
His ideas at his website aren't obvious, but they work from his conversation with you.
The only thing that sucks is that I can't listen on Firefox and have to use IE. I can work with it, just not quite happy. But it is my problem, not yours.

If you're owned by your cell phone rather than using it to make your life better, yes.
My favorite line of the year regarding cell phones:

I'm writing like mad now (my book, "Good Manners For Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck," is due in May), so I'm not really doing anything social now. But, otherwise, regarding phone calls, I like to say that if I like you, we'll have drinks and sit and enjoy each other's company face-to-face. (I arrange such things via email.) If I don't like you enough to have drinks, why the hell would I want to talk with you on the phone?
