Being Too Much
Why So Many People Learn to Shrink Themselves to Be LovedBy Anwen Hart
Length6h 42m
About this audiobook
What if the problem was never that you were too much
but that modern life keeps rewarding smaller versions of people?
In Being Too Much, Anwen Hart explores the hidden emotional adaptation through which people learn to reduce their needs, mute their feelings, and become easier to carry in order to remain lovable. Moving through love, friendship, identity, and culture, this powerful nonfiction book reveals the cost of becoming manageable at the expense of being fully known.
Serious, intimate, and sharply observed, this is a book for listeners who have ever felt most acceptable in diminished form.
