<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After her husband drops the bomb that he's seeing someone else, Jane Pollak finds independence and self-acceptance by reviewing old lessons through a new lens of compassionate awareness and courageously pursuing exciting new unknowns--a journey that leads her to a reinvented, more authentic, life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Jane Pollak spent most of her life "looking for a family." Raised by a mother who was emotionally unavailable, she grew up believing that love came from performance rather than from being seen, heard, and acknowledged for her true self. It followed that she married an extrovert who performed for his students and yet was unable to connect with his wife. <p/> In this poignant, instructive memoir, Pollak investigates the roots of misguided love and paints a picture of what it means to live a satisfied life. Her tale starts in the couples' counseling office, where her soon-to-be ex-husband drops the bomb that he's seeing someone else. From there, Jane goes on to find self-empowerment through her La Leche League group, her career as an artist, her travels around the world, her journey through twelve-step recovery, and her experiences while dating in her sixties. At last, she forges a blissful life on her own in Manhattan, conducting business and enjoying time with a committed partner. <p/> Inspiring and deeply relatable, <em>Too Much of Not Enough Lessons I Learned to Become Myself</em> is a primer on how to be the proactive agent of one's own best path.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>In this memoir, entrepreneur and public speaker Pollak recounts the dissolution of her marriage and the subsequent realizations that changed her life . . . Her interpretation of relationships in a 12-step frame offers a refreshing change from other addiction narratives . . . Her memoir is at its best when she puts forth her own voice, effectively synthesizing complex feelings into powerful, revealing phrases: 'Intimacy once removed was delicious, ' she writes regarding codependency. 'Too close, and it felt like a burden.' . . . A smart, empowering work about self-discovery that features strong prose and intriguing takes on self-help strategies. --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br>
