This might mean some or all of the following: always being polite, nice, helpful, charming, fun, making people feel good about themselves, not letting people down, never saying 'no', avoiding conflict and putting others' needs before their own. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eJacqui Marson in her 15 years of clinical experience as a psychologist has coined the phrase 'the curse of lovely' to describe this growing trend. Many people would like to be known as lovely, but for a growing number of people it can feel like a curse. They feel trapped, suffocated and oppressed by the weight of others' expectations and feel that change is not an option. This highly practical and motivational book will show readers how to break the cycle or curse of lovely to live a more complete, fulfilling life. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContents include: \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When 'lovely' turns into a curse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe lovely child - how it all begins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe lovely friend; the lovely parent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe lovely colleague\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe lovely partner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efrom curse to gift - how we can still be lovable and get our needs met\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebut what do I want - how to tune in to what your body is telling you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ere-evaluating anger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esaying 'no' and surviving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to instigate scary conversations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand how to replace the personal rules that put you at the bottom on the pile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Piatkus Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42824701345872,"sku":"9780749957230B","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780749957230-l.jpg?v=1785897691","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/products\/the-curse-of-lovely-9780749957230b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
