Author spotlight

Thirty years ago, I used alcohol, romance, and professional accomplishments to soothe my frayed nerves. After I quit drinking, I found I had a seriousĀ thinkingĀ problem! Over time, I discovered effective tools from therapy, recovery proĀ­grams, scientific research, and a variety of philosophical and spiritual teachings to find peace, wisdom, and hopeā€“no matter what is going on in my life!

Formerly crowned the ā€œQueen of Worry,ā€ Iā€™ve resigned my post and now live happily with my wonderful husband, Peter, and my cat, Murphy. Although I havenā€™t had a drug or drink for over 30 years, I do occasionally overindulge in Ghirardelli chocolate and historical novels.Ā 

I hold a PhD in Psychological Studies in Education and an MA in Psychology, both from Stanford University. As a professor at Eastern Michigan University, I won several awards for teaching, and (as Georgea M. Langer) co-authored books and articles for educators.
