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.
