Are you experiencing the happiness you deserve? If you have difficulty keeping resolutions, fight with those you care about, or find it hard to rebound emotionally from upsetting events, you may be suffering from an addiction to unhappiness. Fortunately, the power to improve the most meaningful aspects of your life always remains in your own hands, especially with Addicted to Unhappiness as your guide. Like so many others who struggle to better their lives, you have probably made repeated attempts at improvement that never resulted in lasting change. Best-selling author team Martha and William Pieper apply their years of psychotherapeutic work with children, adolescents, and adults to… show you that before you can live the life you want it helps to recognize and understand the internal struggles that stand in your way. In this powerful, breakthrough guide, you'll learn how this addiction to unhappiness stems from parenting styles based on discipline and excessive expectations, which condition children to equate unhappiness with love, and you'll discover how to overcome your addiction and achieve a stable sense of inner balance and happiness. Both optimistic and realistic, Addicted to Unhappiness focuses equally on effective strategies for positive change and on combating the forces that oppose self-improvement. The phases in overcoming the addiction to unhappiness are: getting started (even when you don't feel like it); coping with episodes of backsliding; keeping your resolve when it starts to evaporate; and thinking of yourself as a recovering addict to unhappiness. The Piepers offer you a lifelong program to guide you through the journey to self-fulfillment. You'll learn how to transform those inevitable moments when you lose momentum into opportunities for growth and long-term success. You will discover that backsliding is actually part of the healing process rather than a reason to feel upset and discouraged. Start getting more pleasure out of life. Addicted to Unhappiness arms you with the knowledge to change your life for the better, and forever. Are YOU addicted to unhappiness? Are you unable to follow through on important resolutions? Are you frustrated or inefficient at work? Is your love life unrewarding or filled with conflict? Are you plagued by unpleasant emotions for no apparent reason? Break free from discomfort and hold on to happiness. Everyone is born with the potential to live happy, fulfilled lives, but many of us find it difficult to realize that potential. Best-selling authors Martha and William Pieper will help you understand how you unknowingly became an addict to unhappiness and then give you effective strategies to help you recognize and overcome the learned need to undermine your constructive efforts. Using real-life examples drawn from their clinical experience, the authors provide insights and suggestions that help you choose and maintain the happiness you deserve. In Addicted to Unhappiness, you'll discover: The origins of your addiction and ways it interferes in your life A step-by-step plan to kick your habit How to turn setbacks into victories The ability to move beyond relationship conflicts and embrace closeness Effective ways to get control over painful moods A successful approach to achieving a healthy weight and a fit body And much more!
