“Like Cinderella, many women today are still waiting for something external to transform their lives. We may venture forth into the world, travel, make money. But underneath lurks a wish to be saved, a deep yearning fo dependence.” Using her own experience and four years of intensive research, Colette Dowling shows why The Cinderella Complex is so widespread -and why it may be the chief force holding women back from achieving real independence.
The Cinderella Complex offers women a real opportunity to achieve the emotional independence that means so much more than a new job or a new love. It can help you no matter what your age or your goals. You cannot read it without changing the way you think – and maybe the way you live.
