{"product_id":"the-bill-wilson-paradigm-anonymous-9781512048780","title":"The Bill Wilson Paradigm: A Blueprint for the Next Generation","description":"William Griffith Wilson (November 26, 1895 - January 24, 1971) Founder of Alcoholics Anonymous World Service \u0026amp; Conference 1955Also known as Bill W., he recovered from alcoholism and initiated a moral and spiritual recovery program in New York City; later traveled to Ohio and co-founded AA with Dr. Robert Smith in Akron. Subsequently he wrote the primary literature for AA, the books \"Alcoholics Anonymous\". \"The 12 Steps and 12 Traditions\", \"Language of the Heart\" and \"AA Comes of Age\" as well as many articles for their \"Grapevine\" magazine. Later Bill succeeded in having the 12 Traditions accepted by the foundation and then created a representative democratic assembly to take over for the foundation and stepped down as the CEO. Then, as an individual member of the organization he developed and no longer CEO, he created and succeeded in having the AA Conference accept his 12 Concepts as prudent standards for the operation of the corporate administration of AA world service. Bill championed representative democracy and corporate administration using prudent, practical as well as moral and spiritual principles of fair play, equality and treating members and employees with dignity and respect. I hope you find in this book what I have found: a paradigm for a new religion for the next generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anonymous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 151204878X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781512048780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Anonymous","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985367597311,"sku":"9781512048780","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bc4e42e-716e-45c0-8176-cd2fa58b3d79.jpg?v=1683277152","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bill-wilson-paradigm-anonymous-9781512048780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
