Editorial Reviews

Performance coach Murphy addresses those suffering from “a blame addiction they never knew they had” in his befuddling debut. According to the author, blame addiction causes “fear, shame, guilt, anger, and regret,” which are “not a natural part of being human,” and when people heal from this habit, life can become “effortless.” Murphy’s basic solution hinges on breaking the “victim cycle,” in which blame triggers feelings of victimhood, followed by anxiety, attempts at control, and blame (again). For example, Murphy discusses a client whose misbehaving son threw his work phone into the toilet. Murphy helped the overworked man reframe this “symbolic act” as something he’d subconsciously wanted to do himself, helping him exit the victim mindset, stop blaming the boy, and behave empathetically. Elsewhere, he describes a different client who came to him with an ongoing nosebleed; when he urged her to stop blaming her nose and “open the door of communication” with it, the bleeding stopped the next day. Even readers curious about Murphy’s bold claims will be put off by his circuitous logic and bizarre anecdotal evidence. This oddball volume will confuse more than help. (Jan.)

First-time author Murphy presents an intriguing theory that all types of pain, illness, and hardships in life are caused by our collective addiction to blame. Whether blaming oneself or others, people enter a victim cycle, resulting in chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, depression, and a myriad of other health issues. While his theory is thought-provoking, the solution appears to be a miracle cure-all that neglects to acknowledge the role of privilege, racial disparities, and trauma. The author asserts that people are cocreators of their problems and the only solution is self-honesty. He references sexual abuse, physical abuse, and traumatic medical issues and the suggestion that survivors may have contributed to their own trauma could have a serious impact on a reader's well-being. He criticizes therapists and other medical professionals throughout the book, and his findings are not backed by science, but based entirely on his own experiences as a life coach. Yes, stress can have profound negative effects on one's body, but it seems too outlandish to say that simply being more honest with oneself will cure everything. VERDICT Not recommended for purchase.
