Why read it

  • You will notice when your will turns into manipulation or your love turns merely sentimental
  • You will see why drives like anger, sex and the craving for power can build a life or wreck it
  • You will learn how being unable to wish or want anything can leave a person empty and in despair

Who it is for

  • Someone in a relationship gone controlling or passive
  • A reader who feels flat and cannot say what they want
  • A counsellor interested in how love and desire fit together
