Books in a Box Details: Author Edward Bear a.k.a. Marty Slattery: As Edward Bear, Marty penned the much loved books: The Dark Night of Recovery, The Seven Deadly Needs, The Seven Deadly Fears, Tyler and The Twelve Traditions, Edward and Tyler: Relapse & Recovery and The Cocktail Cart.

    Marty died almost 10 years ago. For all these years, the typed manuscripts from his Edward Bear books have been sitting in file cabinets in the basement of his home. It is now time to let these “Books in a Box” go.  M & J publishing, the entity created by Marty and Jo to publish the books, is holding an auction of Marty's works.

Whether you are in recovery or simply looking to improve your life, Edward Bear's latest "Tyler tape" will show you how to overcome your outwardly centered needs and concentrate on the inner work of healing and growth.

The Seven Deadly Needs, the sequel to Edward Bear's The Dark Night of Recovery, is written as a series of tape-recorded sessions between a mentor, Tyler, and his somewhat resistant pupil, Edward Bear. Each session deals with one of what Tyler calls the Seven Deadly Needs: the Need to Know, to Be Right, to Get Even, to Look Good, to Judge, to Keep Score, and to Control. 

Because these needs are outwardly focused, they force us to act in ways that are not true to ourselves, and often lead to addiction, isolation and unhappiness. This book will guide readers around the potholes in life's road, and give them direction toward a better life.

In form not unlike the Platonic Dialogues, the seven chapters contend with the everyday issues that confine rather than expand our experience of reality.

These obstacles (NEEDS) keep us from an awareness of how rich our lives can be. Through the course of the book, readers will learn how to overcome these deadly needs, how to see the possibilities open to each of us, and how to view each day as a wonderful opportunity for living. Although The Seven Deadly Needs is 12-Step oriented, the principles and practices are universal and the tone is irreverent and charming.
