Grass Is Greener Syndrome: Relationships, Commitment, Perfectionism, and the Life-Changing Fear of Missing Out - Paperback

by Nathan Feiles Lcsw-R (Author)

Do you find yourself repeatedly starting over in relationships, jobs or careers, or where you live? Does the "next" thing-beyond the present-often seem like the place fulfillment will be found? And when you move on to the next thing, do you experience a period of relief and excitement until eventually the new thing now becomes the next disappointment?

If this sounds familiar in your life, you could be struggling with Grass Is Greener Syndrome. While sometimes mistaken for purely a commitment, decision-making, or perfectionism issue, Grass Is Greener Syndrome is a defeating cycle that makes it difficult to settle down and feel fulfilled in various areas of life. It often feels like there is something better that you're missing out on and can cause people to be in perpetual conflict, endlessly moving from one relationship or situation to another, or stuck in place and paralyzed with indecision. For many, the helpless repetitions can also lead to heightened anxiety or depression, among other issues.

Nathan Feiles, LCSW-R, a therapist and private specialized coach in NYC, is the first in the field of psychotherapy to explore the cycle of Grass Is Greener Syndrome, and deliver ways in which you can begin to identify, understand, and approach your own personal struggle within the grass is greener cycle. Grass Is Greener Syndrome: Relationships, Commitment, Perfectionism, and the Life-Changing Fear of Missing Out will give you a unique look into the lives of people who have struggled deeply with this issue-and overcome it.
