A provocative interactive workbook that leads us to reclaim our true selves so we can find the peace and well-being we deserve With the publication of her electrifying New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior, Elise Loehnen—often deemed “our culture’s therapist”—offered a groundbreaking exploration of the rules women unwittingly follow in order to be considered good. She illuminated the centuries-old code of conduct that keeps us disempowered, exhausted, anxious, and disconnected—even from ourselves. In Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness, Loehnen partners with Courtney Smith, a renowned Enneagram expert and coach, to share tools they have learned from the visionary healers, thinkers, and therapists that prompt readers to dig into the stories they tell themselves. These tools guide us to peel back the layers of cultural programming that prevent us from expressing our full potential. The paradigm-shifting process Loehnen and Smith teach on the pages of this workbook reveals the answers to the questions that tug at our souls: Who am I? What do I want? What’s standing in my way?
