THE SCHOOL OF LIFE - How To Overcome Your Childhood

Emotional Inheritance
A book about freeing ourselves from the influences of childhood and building an emotionally successful adult life.

Who we are as adults is, in extraordinary ways, shaped by events that occurred before our fifteenth birthday. The way we express affection, the kind of people we find attractive, our understanding of success, and our approach to work are all shaped by childhood experiences.

This book teaches us how to free ourselves from emotional inheritance by becoming fully aware of our personal histories. We learn about the development of character, the concept of 'emotional inheritance,' and how parental love styles influence our choices in adult partners.

Topics include:

• Emotional Inheritance – How emotional problems are handed down from parent to child
• The Golden Child Syndrome – How too much love from our parents can be as damaging as too little
• Over-Achievement – How we compensate for emotional neglect through worldly success
• Splitting – How we fail to reconcile the good and bad aspects of our parents
• Soothing – How we still require the affection we received as children
• Becoming an Adult – How recognizing our immaturity is key to growth
