Why does the strong, capable, independent woman always fall in love with the man who plays hard to get, the one who treats her badly? Why does the boys-next-door bore her to tears? Why can't she fall in love with a nice, normal, likeable guy? In her bestselling book - which has been translated into 10 languages - psychotherapist and author Maja Storch examines the ways in which successful, independent women unwittingly manage to repeatedly undermine their intimate relationships, and their unconscious reasons for doing so. She helps women unlock the fears that lie behind self-perpetuating patterns and achieve the necessary balance of independence, vulnerability, desire and strength that will enable them to succeed in a relationship. In her personal and adventurous style, Maja Storch draws on the experience of clients, friends and her own life to offer a unique perspective on contemporary relationships and enlightenment for strong women everywhere.
