Just out of curiosity, what is your experience with addiction?

I've been a drug and alcohol addiction counsellor for 5 years now, and "recovered" from drug addiction as well. The reason I'm asking is because what you recommended is the exact opposite of the research that I'm aware of. Much research has shown that identifying the "root problem" has abysmal rates for continuous abstinence from whatever the addictive behaviour is.

The book I last read on the subject, which agrees with my point can be found here.

The only reason I use this book as an example is because it's the one I last read (mine is an updated version I believe), but also in every course I've had to take with professionals it seems to be agreed upon.

I'm not writing this to tear you down, but I'm genuinely curious if you have any evidence of success with identifying the "root cause" of addiction, as it's been pretty much dismissed from what I can tell.

Edit: I just wanted to add that a friend of mine just completed his MA in counselling psychology, and his thesis is based in gambling addiction, specifically the pathways model, which again focuses mostly on CBT and other treatments, but certainly not finding the "root."

Not sure what kind of genius she is but i bet some nice books would be awesome if she likes reading! I have been reading the Malazan series lately, nice multiple character "Game of Thrones style" fantasy novels, they are quite good. http://www.amazon.com/Gardens-Moon-Malazan-Book-Fallen/dp/0765348780

Since you said she is intelligent, i guess she also likes books, and I will give you a small list of the books both me and my GF liked, it are quite unknown books, so the chance she has them is small:

Easily the best book on the market concerning foraging. Maybe you guys could go camping or geocashing and look for edible plants. At the very least it should make for an interesting and potentially useful read for someone who likes the outdoors and food.

Along a similar vain, this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Knew-Cleaning-Made-Easy-ebook/dp/B008GWMH0K/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377479881&sr=1-4
is an interesting read about how to clean various stains with everyday house hold objects.

To get addicted? I would say the War of the Ancients trilogy, it covers a period in Warcraft known as the sundering but from a different perspective from Warcraft 3 as it focuses on 3 characters 'created' by the author (technically you can say it was blizzard/knaak) which in turn heavily influence the current story and timeline in World of Warcraft (WoD excluded to a point).

If you aren't looking for a long read, as mentioned by /u/disaace, Arthas: Rise of the Lich King is fantastic and covers Arthas Menethils descent in to 'madness' as he takes up the mantle of 'The Lich King'. The internal struggle in that book was one of the best things in any of the Warcract/WoW series i've read.

If you enjoy either of those, you can go in a few directions but i'd recommend covering the history of/between Orcs and Humans which you can read in World of Warcraft: Chronicles of War which covers 4 books and gives you a really solid grounding.

Some people have issues with some of the writing styles but if you just take the story for what it is and you've grown up around the Warcraft games then it's hard to not geek out a bit!

> Here's a decks from the EU top 8 for Spring: http://www.gosugamers.net/hearthstone/news/35804-decklist-spotlight-all-decks-from-hct-eu-spring-championship Pretty good mix of combo, midrange, aggro, and control.


/u/bbrode not one priest deck. not one player even brought priest. but hey priest gets [[Power Word: Tentacles]] for 5 mana but i'm dead before I can put it on a minion. So Ben Brode that is bullshit. 5 mana we can buff they other guys 7/7 four mana [[Flamewreathed Faceless]] if i'm even alive cause bloodlust and 5 minions.


A pretty good mix is ALL players had SHAMAN, WARLOCK, WARRIOR. that's it. I think you come one here because you care and that laugh is infectious, but what you said is bullshit.

The Bedside Baccalaureate; a book with a bunch of completely historical knowledge, tidbits of knowledge, and random facts. Great for brushing up on interesting things when you've got nothing better to do. If she's a genius then she'll have fun reading through and seeing how many of the things she knows. There's a few books in the series.

Heath brothers do good work as well. A bit more casual, makes for good commute reading.

Make use of that intelligence and get her an arduino uno.

She'll be able to make anything from simple robots to a light up dress that changes colors. A simple guide to get started will help as well. Guide.

I see you edited your comment. Now we're talking about geopolitical systems of government now?

For the record, I agree with you on income inequality. I'm familiar (and agree) with Piketty's analysis of wealth accumulation. I've followed the Koch Brothers and their machinations against climate change for years now. I've worked in finance for well over 10 years, with CNBC on the TV next to me. I don't see how this is relevant to the business model of card games.

Don't assume I'm some uninformed schmuck.

WoWpedia has it all. Her actual story, as well as a lot of Varian's and the awesome Broll Bearmantle, can be found in World of Warcraft: the Comic.
