From Neediness to Fulfillment: Beyond Relationships of Dependence Kindle Edition

by Miriam Subirana (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
See all formats and editions
Our relationships are unsatisfactory.They are conditioned by cultural, social and historical factors, which lead us to an inner emptiness. Through centuries of patriarchal leadership and feminine dependence we have arrived at the present situation...one of deep unsatisfaction. The neediness of so many women and the present day situation of lack of true encounter between men and women, has led the author to question, to observe and to suggest new solutions to our present challenges. We need to learn to relate to each other without hurting ourselves, to love each other without attaching one to another, to be accomplices respectful of our identities and freedom, to experience unity in diversity.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This book is an invitation to learn to love ourselves and to love the other without engaging in toxic dependences, and without paradigms that choke us. It is an invitation to experience true love, that love which makes us free and that, as she states: (...)arises out of the encounter of two wholes and not of the belief in and search for the joining of two halves . Miriam knows that we cannot love if we do not feel realized as people; that is why she devotes her first chapters to smashing the very real chains that imprison us into tiny pieces. It isimpossible to find realization in our partner if we are waiting for the other to rescue us; if we yearn for perfect, not real, relationships; or if we are so afraid of rejection that we drag dead relationships along with us. That is why this book is a navigation map for all those of us who want to have a full and authentic life, not only in a partnership, but also in our relationship with ourselves. A great essay such as the one the reader has in his or her hands invites us to think, to reflect and to be moved to action.To achieve this, Miriam speaks to us out of her own experience with courage, exposing herself and committing herself as a person, and what she achieves, through so doing, is that her words leave us far from indifferent. It is a marvelous book, highly recommendable, brave, full of wisdom, of intimacy, inciting us to change and question ourselves, written by a woman who is a teacher in what she says and, even more importantly, in what she does.
--Pilar Jeric

Dielle
4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2013
"All people should be alone from time to time, to establish an inner dialogue and discover their personal strength. In aloneness you understand that harmony and peace of the spirit can only be found in yourself, and not from others." This quote is a prime example of the quality of advice to be found in From Neediness to Fulfillment.

Quite comfortable with and needing frequent alone-time, I was reading this book in an attempt to understand the neediness of others, and it really helped. It even gave me some useful insights into my own patterns in relationship, even though they don't fit the mold as described. (I often exhibit many of the habits attributed to men, not women.) If you can read in this book what lies beyond the stereotypes, there is much to be found.

The content seemed richer to me in the first half than the second (the second offering rather obvious tools like acceptance and forgiveness), but the second half was still a worthwhile read. Ultimately, we all need to do the work to rewrite the relationship scripts we've been handed by those who came before us, or we're doomed to follow them. As Subirana write, "The new way of loving offers a new meaning, since it points to the drawing together of two wholes, not the union of two halves."

I read this book in one sitting and then shared it with a couple of my friends.
