Addicted to Love

In 'Addicted to Love', Jan Geurtz clearly demonstrates how our search for love and recognition stems from a fundamental self-rejection. We try to compensate for this with our quest for appreciation from others. But this is counterproductive: it actually makes us more insecure and therefore increasingly dependent.

This creates an addiction to love, recognition and the security of a relationship. As a result, most romantic relationships eventually fail, or – perhaps even worse – are reduced to listless companionship with little room for growth and happiness.

With humour and practical examples, Jan Geurtz shows a way out of this vicious circle. Once rid of self-rejection, our painful emotions, but also our sexual desires, turn out to be the gateway to a state of being that is completely free of entrapment and dependence, and is filled with love and clarity – with or without a relationship.
