If we go to college and become a degreed professional. If we marry someone respectable and buy a house in a picturesque neighbourhood. If we become the proud parents of two children. If we land our dream job, get promoted, or make partner. Women spend decades, even lifetimes, believing: If I can just do%u2014or have%u2014or become%u2014that one thing, I%u2019ll be satisfied, content, complete.Many of us nearly %u201cdo%u201d ourselves to death, sacrificing health and relationships to arrive at some elusive, %u201cultimate%u201d point of existence. Still, no matter how much we do, genuine satisfaction evades us. And the parts of us we sought to fill with the trappings of wealth, power, goodness, and praise somehow feel emptier than before. All the while, missing the most fundamental key to our happiness%u2014the joy of inner fulfilment.Unhappy Achiever is the story of how we use masks of achievement to buffer against the world and protect us from pain, how these masks keep us disconnected from ourselves and distanced from those around us%u2014and ultimately, the magic, wisdom, and wholeness we encounter when we exist unencumbered and unobscured by external pursuits.UNHAPPY ACHIEVERREJECTING THE GOOD GIRL IMAGE AND RECLAIMING THE JOY OF INNER FULFILLMENTAshley JordanSales: Star Book Sales LLP T: 01404 515050E: enquiries@starbooksales.comtwitter.com/starbooksalesOrders: Combined Book Services Ltd.
