Four Questions You've Been Avoiding: A Complete Series Edition

About this book

The thing bothering you may be real. The explanation may not be the whole story. A decision you keep reopening at 1:47 a.m. A photograph that suddenly makes your life feel smaller. An ordinary sentence that somehow became an argument. A tiredness that a weekend away doesn't fix. Most of us explain these moments away. "I've just got a lot going on." "I didn't mean it like that." "I probably need a holiday." Sometimes that's true. Sometimes it's a convenient way to avoid a more useful question. Four Questions You've Been Avoiding brings together the complete Quiet Questions Series in one illustrated volume. It opens with an introduction to all four questions, then gives each one a part of its own: Part One: Why You Already Know, But Won't Decide Part Two: Whose Life Are You Actually Living? Part Three: What You Meant vs. What They Heard Part Four: Tired of What, Exactly? This isn't therapy, and it isn't self-help that hands you a formula. Written in plain, unhurried language, it doesn't tell you what to do. It helps you notice what's really going on, with gentle reflections and small experiments you can try the same day. For anyone who suspects the problem isn't always the problem. A smaller noise. A clearer you.
