Publisher's Synopsis
Our lives are guided by our attachments. When they're healthy, they offer us security, pleasure, and validation. But for many of us, something has gone awry. We're distracted and sabotaged by these attachments, like control, perfection, or success, which morph into internal conversations that undermine our best selves -- ultimately inhibiting our ability to live a full, happy life. The antidote to the poison of unhealthy attachments? Trading them in for positive aspirations. Rooted in a blend of Western and Eastern psychology, supported by research, and told through the stories of real people from all walks of life who have overcome their own self-sabotage, Detach walks readers through the ten unhealthy attachments many of us carry, as well as the ten positive aspirations we can use to combat each one of them. Equipped with newfound self-awareness, readers will learn to: Improve their health, wellbeing, and quality of life; Experience the freedom that accompanies reaching one's full potential; Get rid of their baggage to fully embrace an abundant, meaningful life; Trade disappointments for joy, worries for peace, and fear for love. Detach is your personal guide for life-altering change, offering a chance to reflect on how you might be standing in the way of your own success -- as well as the tools you need to overcome your anxiety and rewrite your story.
