Summary of Brenda Schaeffer's Is It Love or Is It Addiction

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Love is the expression of productiveness, which implies care, respect, responsibility, and knowledge. It is a striving towards growth and happiness of the loved person rooted in one's own capacity to love.

#2 Love is the bridge between our human experience and our spiritual experience. It is experienced as emanating from the heart. As we get to the source of our feelings and heal them, we begin to feel the higher emotions of the heart, which lead to the deep unconditional love of self.

#3 Any activity that can influence or shift our subjective experience holds addictive potential. The euphoria produced by process addictions, for example, is the same as that produced by drug or substance addictions.

#4 Addiction is a dysfunctional habit that has become unconscious. It is a compulsive ritual that is no longer a choice, and it is a psychological or physical attachment to the object, often characterized by withdrawal or intensity of symptoms when the object is removed.
