Do you often feel pulled between the longing to be loved and the necessity of forging your own identity? In this insightful exploration, renowned psychoanalyst Dr. Polly Young-Eisendrath addresses the bewilderment many women face when asked a simple question: What do you want? Drawing upon decades of clinical practice, Buddhist philosophy, and timeless myths, the author reveals why so many women remain trapped in the cycle of "wanting to be wanted." By constantly prioritising the expectations of others—whether as mothers, partners, or professionals—women often suppress their true intentions, leading to frustration and hidden resentment. This book offers a transformative path forward, teaching readers how to move beyond rigid, inherited social boundaries. By awakening to your own authentic needs and taking responsibility for your choices, you can transition from seeking external validation to achieving true self-determination. Empowering and profound, this work serves as an essential guide for any woman seeking to escape the pressure of perfectionism, reclaim her personal sovereignty, and finally embrace the freedom to define her own life’s purpose.
