A TRANSFORMATIVE BOOK ABOUT THE LIVES WE WISH WE HAD AND WHAT THEY CAN TEACH US ABOUT WHO WE ARE
All of us lead two parallel lives: the one we are actively living, and the one we feel we should have had or might yet have. As hard as we try to exist in the moment, the unlived life is an inescapable presence, a shadow at our heels. And this itself can become the story of our lives: an elegy to unmet needs and sacrificed desires. We become haunted by the myth of our own potential, of what we have in ourselves to be or to do. And this can make of our lives a perpetual game of falling short. But what happens if we remove the idea of failure from the equation? With his flair for graceful paradox, the acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips suggests that if we accept frustration as a way of outlining what we really want, satisfaction suddenly becomes possible. To crave a life without frustration is to crave a life without the potential to identify and accomplish our desires. In Missing Out, an elegant, compassionate, and absorbing book, Phillips draws deeply on his own clinical experience as well as on the works of Shakespeare and Freud, of D. W. Winnicott and William James, to suggest that frustration, not getting it, and getting away with it are all chapters in our unlived lives--and may be essential to the one fully lived.Binding Type: Paperback

Thumbs Up for Organic Cotton
Size: 300 Count
When it's time to apply toner or cleanse around the delicate eye area, it's great to have the option of organic cotton pads like these. What I especially like about this brand's style is that the edges are sealed, reducing the chance of getting cotton fuzzy fibers in the eyelashes.
The round pads are lightweight, but hold together nicely to handle the cleansing job. The three pack size will last me a long time and is a good value compared to some other brands I've tried. My understanding is that these are also eco-friendly.

Clean, lint -free rounds that hold together.
Size: 300 Count
I have purchased these organic cotton rounds at least twice now and they are easy, inexpensive, clean and great for a ton of uses, but especially for cleaning around the eyes without leaving any lint in my eyelashes. When you wet them, they do not fall apart, but are still soft. I highly recommend them.
