""Advice for handling disappointments in career, relationships, and life goals. Guidance for using them as opportunities to find insight, purpose, and fulfillment, and for learning from them for each next step. Addresses anxiety, self-judgment, courage, faith, and surrender"--Provided by publisher"-- Provided by publisher. "Expectation hangovers may not be as obvious as Sauvignon Blanc or Jim Beam hangovers but they are every bit as painful. We think we aced an interview and get no call back. We meet an online match in person and fail to click. Or maybe we buy a house or move to another city and are disappointed. If we then wallow in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, we stay stuck. Christine Hassler urges us to instead see these hangovers as opportunities to re-examine what we want and to try not again, but to try smarter, braver, and with more heart. When we fully experience the hangover, we learn courage, faith, surrender, and love. This is what empowers us to move beyond disappointments rather than replay and repeat them"-- Provided by publisher.
