The result is a Superwoman Syndrome: we are overworked and exhausted -- and we feel alone. In Things Will Get as Good as You Can Stand, Doyle provides steps for overcoming the Superwoman Syndrome and explains why: * If you act like you don't deserve something, everyone else will agree * Saying what you want makes you more beautiful * Grateful women have better romantic relationships * You should let a man support you * You have to be vulnerable to get emotional help With her trademark practical approach, Doyle explains why it is "better to receive than to give." She guides you to accepting what you are offered with ease and kindness, which is the expressway to having what you want.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
