Product Description

Product Description

We all have an innate desire to lead emotionally fulfilling lives, but too often we are tripped up by our dependence on seemingly harmless habits - shopping, watching television, gossiping, surfing the Net - routines that can insulate us from our thoughts, our feelings, and from other people. These seemingly harmless habits are "soft addictions", and they form a powerful net that traps us and prevents us from realizing our dreams. "Soft addictions" satisfy surface needs but they ignore our deeper needs. They numb feelings and help us avoid anxieties, substituting a superficial high or sense of activity for genuine purpose and fulfilment. In a very real sense, we become hooked on these habitual behaviours. But unlike drugs or alcohol, our "soft addictions" arrive in the guise of a "normal", socially acceptable activity. Judith Wright helps identify the deeper needs behind these addictions and offers a complete, eight-step programme that has been used by hundreds of her students to help them to open up their lives to a greater sense of purpose and happiness.


From the Back Cover

We all want to lead fulfilling and purposeful lives. But too often we are trapped by our seemingly harmless dependence on 'soft addictions' - time-wasting habits such as shopping, watching TV, gossiping and surfing the Net - which distract us and insulate us from our thoughts, our feelings and from other people. These habitual behaviours may provide a superficial high that satisfies our surface needs, but they also - more alarmingly - form a powerful net that prevents us from achieving our goals, our ambitions, and our dreams.

In There Must Be More Than This, Judith Wright draws upon her vast experience in the world of personal and professional development to provide a unique and completely practical eight-step programme that will help you to abandon the trivial routines that fill your day and shows you how to focus on what really matters. As you follow this inspiring programme, your 'soft addictions' will begin to fall away and you will develop a deeper and more meaningful way of life - a life of true purpose, creativity and love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get MORE in your life!, 19 Sep 2003
By A Customer
Judith Wright's new book, There Must Be More Than This, is one of the most refreshing books I have read in a long time. I felt compelled to read it even though I did not think of myself as an addict and discovered that many of my mindless habits are keeping me from getting what I truly want in life. Now I am finding more satisfaction in my career, spending more quality time with my husband and daughters and doing things I have always wanted to do. Not only is Judith inspiring but the exercises she outlines are useful and practical. I highly recommend Judith's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing, 18 Sep 2003
Judith Wright's book is a must read! I found it highly practical, a pleasure to read and full of solid wisdom. What set it apart from all the other books of this sort is the link between my soft addictions and my spiritual hungers. I now know why all the other quick fixes I have tried have failed. I have already made significant shifts in my life and the door feels wide open for me to create the life I have always wanted. This book was an answer to a prayer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing book, 18 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This book is completely life changing. In working on overcoming my soft addictions, I'm discovering way more than I ever thought possible. I have more time, more energy, more creativity --just by noticing my soft addictions.

I especially love the Math of MORE in Chapter 9. I can say that my home is more inspiring and beautiful as a result of my using the Math of MORE to 'add' more inspiration and beauty.

As Judith says in the book, this is for everybody. I've given it as a gift to people of all ages and they have been inspired and moved by what's possible in life.

Thank you Judith for showing me that THERE IS MORE THAN THIS!

We're all aware that we're not living our lives to their full potential, a few of us will seek out self help books to lead us to another, hopefully better, way. Read more
