In Search of You: How to Find Joy When Doing More Isn't Doing It Anymore

By Kasey Compton

Book Overview

Forget everything you think you know about success and self-care and learn how to really love yourself, with this revolutionary guide from an acclaimed therapist who gets it.

Many modern women experience a frustrating phenomenon: No matter how much we accomplish, the feeling of satisfaction we anticipated never actually comes. Raised in a society of gender-influenced expectations--be an amazing mom, be an extraordinary partner, be an incredible executive and execute on all these roles flawlessly--women have lost the one thing that can ever truly fulfill us: self-love.

Acclaimed therapist and self-love spokesperson Kasey Compton has been there. Through her own experiences with anxiety, divorce, and therapy, she was constantly searching for ways to become "better" and often thought the life of her dreams was just around the next corner. It took her over a decade to realize what was truly missing. Now, as a counselor, she's spoken with more than a thousand women who felt that same nagging emptiness, often asking, "Shouldn't there be more to life?" The answer is yes.

Backed by clinical research, professional case studies, and Kasey's expertise, this guide will help you:

Unpack why your outward achievements don't soothe inner emptiness

Embrace genuine self-love with intentionality

Reconnect with your inner child, a source of hope and joy

Stop running from your past trauma--and start to heal

Tap into your deepest desires without fear

Establish healthy boundaries and develop positive habits

Set yourself free from unhelpful expectations

Actively create meaning in your life

With In Search of You, you'll embark on a path toward authentic, lasting fulfillment--and more joy than you thought possible.
