"What do we want? And how do we get it? Chloe is beautiful and fiercely bright, but she feels desperately deprived. Elliot, lost and adrift, is secretly grieving the loss of his famous lover. Rosie has always tried to follow the rules of cultural expectations, but a year into her marriage, she still hasn’t had sex with her husband. Dwight is determined to be upbeat, even in the face of his wife's betrayal. Each of us, at certain moments in our lives, can feel lost or confused. We often don't know how to get what we want, but we share some universal desires: to love and be loved; understanding, power, attention, freedom; to create, to belong, to win, to connect, to control; and we want what we shouldn't. In each of these twelve chapters, focused on one of these desires, psychotherapist Charlotte Fox Weber takes you behind closed doors of her therapy sessions as she guides clients towards startling insights and profound change. With a warm and compassionate voice, Weber blends dramatic and moving personal stories with careful research in this 'brilliant and wise' (The Times, London) guide to living well that will stay with you long after you turn the final page."--From publisher.
