| "Very good content ... I think this program was very good at explaining, on a scientific basis, why addiction is not just a `lack of will power`." (Research Triangle Park, NC) |
| "Outstanding briefing that was one of the few truly inductive presentations I have attended on substance abuse. Normally, these tend to be assertive cautionary warnings. This was more in the nature of a clinical experience with a heavy dose of medical school analysis to support his principled positions.
Well worth the time to view ..." (Lexington Park, MD) |

" (Charlotte, NC) |
| "The instructor was excellent. Although much of it was more closely related to the biology/metabolic/scientific aspects, it was extremely interesting." (Charlotte, NC) |
| "I am an organic chemist, and practice patent law, and have particular expertise in the treatment of central nervous system disorders. It is perhaps for this reason I found this to be the best CLE course I have ever taken. The speaker was engaging, the talk was interesting (at least to me), and was very insightful. I was not aware of the potential certain people have for abuse, and the explanation of the causes of depression and drug abuse was fascinating." (Chapel Hill, NC) |
| "Best CLE ever, this guy was great, entertaining ansd informative, 10 thumbs up!" (Wilmington, NC) |
| "Thanks for making this available." (Greenville, NC) |
| "Great Presenter" (Cary, NC) |
| "I randomly selected this course merely to satisfy my substance abuse requirement. Wow.. was I amazed at how excellent it was! It was so interesting and fascinating. The information provided debunked many myths regarding addiction in general, and alcoholism in particular. The speaker was outstanding. He seemed to know how much to "dumb down" his talk, such that a non-medical person could understand it, without insulting our intelligence. I already recommended this class to my husband who also needs CLE hours. He`ll really enjoy it since he`s a trained chemist." (Durham, NC) |

I only wish he had been able to get through the entire presentation." (Durham, NC) |
| "Speaker was execellent. I learned a lot I did not know; it was as helpful as such a program could be to me, and he was quite entertaining.
Good job all around!" (Spartanburg, SC) |

| "I really enjoyed the scientific information and the presentation based on that information as it relates to addiction. Very well done." (Raleigh, NC) |
| "Interesting speaker with light moments. Generally liked the challenged fallacies -- alcoholism isn't drinking too much alcohol, its not drinking enough. Loved how he correlated the lack of treatment for addictions to diabetes, for example. I hope we can book him for some of our programs in representing parents with these issues. Every judge should also have to listen to this presentation." (Durham, NC) |
| "good presenter-i liked his sense of humor" (Lincolnton, NC) |

| "Excellent course and instructor" (Washington, DC) |

| "Dr. Book is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining." (Charlotte, NC) |
| "Terrific presentation." (Hendersonville, NC) |
| "I am a recovering alcoholic. I found this program to be super informative, interesting, and with just the right balance of humor on a serious topic. It is one of the best seminars I have taken in my 30 plus years of practice. Programs of this nature should be made available on dvd for a reasonable price to those who have completed the seminar, to allow us to revisit and absorb on a greater level of understanding the information set forth. i.e. it goes too fast to absorb all and the materials were not in themselves sufficient to allow revisiting the issues." (HENDERSONVILLE, NC) |
| "A riveting CLE that was highly interesting and useful! Someone should tell him that's illegal." (Greenville, SC) |
