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

Quality issues
The first one the squeaker did not work, the second one the seam on the wing had a fault so it didn’t not last more than an hour or two before it was taken away.

Tall Tails Fan
My Boston Terrier loves tall Tails toys. However, they do not seem to be lasting as long. However, I continue to purchase because she has to have their chipmunk to go to sleep nightly.

The best dog toys on the market
My dog is relentless when it comes to toys. Unfortunately that means most get destroyed. These toys are incredibly durable you can feel it when you touch them. However if your dog is a shredder I would stick to rubber
