In search of you : how to find joy when doing more isn't doing it anymore
(Book)

Many modern women experience a frustrating phenomenon: No matter how much we accomplish, the feeling of satisfaction we anticipated never actually comes. Raised in a society of gender-influenced expectations—be an amazing mom, be an extraordinary partner, be an incredible executive and execute on all these roles flawlessly—women have lost the one thing that can ever truly fulfill us: self-love. Acclaimed therapist and self-love spokesperson Kasey Compton has been there. Through her own experiences with anxiety, divorce, and therapy, she was constantly searching for ways to become “better” and often thought the life of her dreams was just around the next corner. It took her over a decade to realize what was truly missing. Now, as a counselor, she’s spoken with more than a thousand women who felt that same nagging emptiness, often asking, “Shouldn’t there be more to life?” The answer is yes.
