In 12 Step Guide for the Self-Help Book Addict, readers are led on a journey of personal discovery and a 12-step approach for actually achieving results. Palko helps readers think about their life, what they want out of life, and how they are filtering and choosing their own reality on a daily basis. "In an over 11-billion-dollar industry of self-help and self improvement, the question remains: why do obsessive self-help connoisseurs keep dishing out their money only to remain stuck in the same circumstances?" asks Palko. "I wrote this book because I wanted to explore this repeated phenomenon and show the disconnect between fantasy and physical reality."
