Book Description
Those that go searching for love only make manifest their own lovelessness - D.H. Lawrence If you're going through the agony of a break up and you long, desperately, to reunite with your partner - this book is for you. Perhaps you're still with your partner but they're losing interest or pulling away - this book is also for you. Not all relationships can be saved. However, given the right inner conditions, some relationships can - and do - heal. Here you will learn precisely how to cultivate those conditions. Author, Louisa Jackson, describes how her life spiralled downwards after the break-up of a relationship. This triggered a long and intense period of study. Immersed in quantum physics, spirituality and Law of Attraction principles, she started to experiment with these concepts in her day-to-day life. Slowly, her intense suffering transformed into deep peace and happiness. A completely new way of living emerged and miraculous changes to all areas of her life then followed. Her long-term battle with depression, social anxiety and bulimia came to an end. Financial and family difficulties also resolved. So, too, did the cycle of toxic and dysfunctional relationships that she kept repeating over and over. Louisa now enjoys a happy, long-term, relationship - one which was successfully rekindled after applying the techniques and principles outlined in this book. The focus here is what's going on inside you, rather than on the outer circumstances of your life. For when you transform your inner world, you'll find that your outer world transforms in equal measure - sometimes in miraculous ways. As you'll see, this isn't merely a spiritual concept but is backed up by quantum physics principles. This book gets right to the heart of your beliefs about love, happiness and the fundamental nature of reality. It's faulty beliefs in these areas which are so often at the root of dysfunctional relationships. You'll learn what real happiness is, and how to cultivate it. You'll also discover techniques for sustaining the honeymoon period and how to prevent a repeating pattern of heartbreak. With practice, you'll stop needing love and instead start to radiate love. When this happens, you cannot help but attract love, whether that's from your existing partner or a new one. This is a new way of 'being' which will radiate out into all areas of your life. Whether you want to save a long-term marriage or a short-term romance, the same formula applies. You may even find after reading this book that you no longer want, or need, your partner to return.

Missing Out
Author: Adam Phillips
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1429949538
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
From the leading psychoanalyst Adam Phillips comes Missing Out, a transformative book about the lives we wish we had and what they can teach us about who we are All of us lead two parallel lives: the one we are actively living, and the one we feel we should have had or might yet have. As hard as we try to exist in the moment, the unlived life is an inescapable presence, a shadow at our heels. And this itself can become the story of our lives: an elegy to unmet needs and sacrificed desires. We become haunted by the myth of our own potential, of what we have in ourselves to be or to do. And this can make of our lives a perpetual falling-short. But what happens if we remove the idea of failure from the equation? With his flair for graceful paradox, the acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips suggests that if we accept frustration as a way of outlining what we really want, satisfaction suddenly becomes possible. To crave a life without frustration is to crave a life without the potential to identify and accomplish our desires. In this elegant, compassionate, and absorbing book, Phillips draws deeply on his own clinical experience as well as on the works of Shakespeare and Freud, of D. W. Winnicott and William James, to suggest that frustration, not getting it, and and getting away with it are all chapters in our unlived lives—and may be essential to the one fully lived.

How to Fix a Broken Heart
Author: Guy Winch
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501120131
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted. Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn’t expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotion—if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it. Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve, and to function at our best. In How to Fix a Broken Heart he focuses on two types of emotional pain—romantic heartbreak and the heartbreak that results from the loss of a cherished pet. These experiences are both accompanied by severe grief responses, yet they are not deemed as important as, for example, a formal divorce or the loss of a close relative. As a result, we are often deprived of the recognition, support, and compassion afforded to those whose heartbreak is considered more significant. Our heart might be broken, but we do not have to break with it. Winch reveals that recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives and our minds and put ourselves on the path to healing. Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle and cope with a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.
