ISN'T IT TIME YOU SHED PERFORMANCE-BASED LIVING?
When Alas Wright's childhood family collapsed, he took the blame. As a wounded fourth grader, Alan secretly wondered, "What's wrong with me? How can I become loveable again? "Unconsciously, he made the most devastating--and common--of vows: "I'll do whatever it takes to be loved."
Excelling in sports, earning straight A's, and well-liked by everyone--except himself--Alan had made a childhood commitment to performance-based living, which led to a series of grown-up problems.
