Spirit Junkie

A Radical Road to Self-Love and Miracles

By: Gabrielle Bernstein, Marianne Williamson - introduction

Narrated by: Gabrielle Bernstein

“So long, Carrie Bradshaw—there’s a new role model for go-getting thirty-somethings. Gabrielle Bernstein is doling out inner peace and self-love for the postmodern spiritual set.”—Elle

Foreword by Marianne Williamson

Before she became a celebrated teacher and lecturer, Gabrielle Bernstein was going down a dangerous path. For years, Bernstein struggled with eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, and constant self-doubt and self-loathing. That all changed when she discovered A Course in Miracles, which taught her that much of what she feared in life was not frightening at all and, in many cases, not even real.

Now, Bernstein lives an empowered, healthy, and joyful life. In Spirit Junkie, Bernstein guides readers through the life-changing lessons that shaped her spiritual journey: how we become accustomed to fearful ways of thinking, how to recognize and change those thought patterns to make way for bliss, and how to maintain our happiness and share it with the world. By understanding and changing our perceptions, hang-ups will melt away, resentments will release, and a childlike faith in joy will be reignited.

Praise for Spirit Junkie

“For those ready to give up their addiction to suffering or who simply need to release the general malaise of a too-busy, too shallow way of life, Spirit Junkie is a soothing balm for the soul. Gabrielle Bernstein is a brilliant shining guide for all who seek to have more love, more light and more miracles in their life.”—Arielle Ford, author of The Soulmate Secret

Critic reviews

“A beautiful book with a profound message: choose love.”—Kris Carr

“Gabrielle is one of my most treasured soul sisters and a true ‘Spirit Junkie’ in the most fun and exhilarating ways imaginable! I read Gabby’s books for spiritual life lessons on how to love myself and others more deeply and with authentic honesty. Open your hearts to this beautiful goddess-diva and, most important, discover the one that lives inside you!”—Eliza Dushku

“A decade ago, young women like Ms. Bernstein might have been expected to chase the lifestyle of high heels and pink drinks. . . . But now there is a new role model for New York’s former Carrie Bradshaws . . . well versed in self-help and New Age spirituality . . . Ms. Bernstein is one of a circle of such figures, influenced less by the oeuvre of Candace Bushnell than that of Marianne Williamson.”—The New York Times

“In this mixture of humor, grief and how-to instructions on achieving enlightenment, Bernstein offers more than just autobiography or a user’s guide to meditation . . . A groovy blend of meditative and instructive writing.”—Kirkus Reviews

She took the words right out of my being!

I've been on a very similar spiritual journey like Gabbys since 2006 and although our stories of struggle and dark times aren't the same, our walk in Spirit is nearly parallel. Her words helped me understand many of the struggles I've had throughout my own walk in healing, and I know now that I am not alone. I look forward to reading more of her books and possibly attending her spirit junkie trainings. Thank you Gabby for your transparency, and clear cut communication and revelation. I am forever grateful. #namaste

Couldn't stop listening!

I really loved this piece! This book offers alternative, healthy perspectives on life that are applicable to anyone going through any phase or stage. Gabrielle does a great job with keeping it real inspiring real simple, yet grand, ways of change.

Surprised!

Sometimes you need something you didn’t even realize you needed and Spirit Junkie was that for me. I got tools from this book that I’ll use everyday to make peace with myself and create a better life. I hope you get just as much!

Gabby is my favorite author, sent to me from my spirit guides. I have read all but 2 of her books and really looking forward to her newest one coming out soon. Spirit Junkie was so relatable on so many levels and I feel like I need to listen 2-3 more times just like I did with Super Attractor!
