For fans of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and Tiny Beautiful
Things, this behind-closed-doors exploration from an acclaimed
psychotherapist of the twelve fundamental psychological needs we
all share "provides a roadmap of how one might approach their own
transformation by becoming willing to admit their deepest desires"
(Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author). What do we
want? And how do we get it? Chloe is beautiful and fiercely bright,
but she feels desperately deprived. Elliot, lost and adrift, is
secretly grieving the loss of his famous lover. Rosie has always
tried to follow the rules of cultural expectations, but a year into
her marriage, she still hasn't had sex with her husband. Dwight is
determined to be upbeat, even in the face of his wife's betrayal.
Each of us, at certain moments in our lives, can feel lost or
confused. We often don't know how to get what we want, but we share
some universal desires: to love and be loved; understanding, power,
attention, freedom; to create, to belong, to win, to connect, to
control; and we want what we shouldn't. In each of these twelve
chapters, focused on one of these desires, psychotherapist
Charlotte Fox Weber takes you behind closed doors of her therapy
sessions as she guides clients towards startling insights and
profound change. With a warm and compassionate voice, Weber blends
dramatic and moving personal stories with careful research in this
"brilliant and wise" (The Times, London) guide to living well that
will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
'Thoughtful, lucid and blessedly free of therapese . . . Weber's
book is a powerful snapshot into the little bombs going off in the
lives and homes of those around us' SUNDAY TIMES 'Finely crafted,
profound and always generous . . . Made me feel excited to be
alive' NATASHA LUNN Our secret wants and desires are often hidden
in a box. But what happens when you lift the lid? Chloe is
beautiful and fiercely bright, but her thirst for alcohol and
attention is insatiable. Sara resents being tied down to anything,
but part of her craves stability. Elliot is secretly grieving the
death of his famous lover and feels like he's invisible. The lives
and problems of psychotherapist Charlotte Fox Weber's clients vary,
but all are united by a common question: what do I really want? In
What We Want, Charlotte Fox Weber takes us on a journey through
twelve universal wants and desires - love, power, sex, attention,
and more - bringing us behind the closed doors of her practice. As
she gently guides her clients towards a deeper understanding of
themselves, she invites them - and us - to find a fuller way of
living. What We Want is at once a fly-on-the-wall look at what
binds us all, an expression of the profound importance of
understanding and articulating our desires, and a practical toolkit
for living well. More Love for What We Want: 'Insightful and deeply
empathetic . . . Offers hope that we can actually get better'
PAMELA DRUCKERMAN 'Will surely convince even the most sceptical
critic that effective counselling can truly transform lives'
