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. 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 family, friends and a bit of romance. Inspiring and deeply relatable, Too Much of Not Enough is a primer on how to be the proactive agent of one's own best path. 541 $d 20200114. 941 $a 3 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104015912.0 952 $l LGPB975 $d 20210918012025.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20200603011208.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95111C42A55F11EAA027EF1497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
