About this ebook
What brings true, lasting happiness? Having the biggest house on the block or an impressive title in front of your name? Are you on an endless chase to acquire the things that you’re convinced you need? Desire: Never Fulfilled but Grows, the latest book in the GET A GRIP series by Derek O’Neill, will shift your perspective on this fascinating topic!
What role does attachment play in desire? What is the difference between a healthy, higher desire and one that brings us suffering? These are just some of the many subjects this little book touches upon, in addition to, how technology and social media affects desire, the impermanent nature of life, and the subconscious beliefs around what we desire, and why.
With better understanding of desire, we can begin to live our lives in alignment with who we truly are and in gratitude for all we have right now.

Dedication
To all who read this book, I salute you for wanting to change the way you live for the better and for having the courage to be who you are as fully as possible.
To all who encourage me everyday to keep going and sharing their lives with me, family small and large. But most of all the little angels who came to teach me – Alexa and Blake, my grandchildren.
Everybody hurts sometimes, and when we do it is nice to have Derek O’Neill around. His excellent little books on the things that get us, (fear, anger, depression, victimhood, mental blocks) allow us to find our way safely through our psychological minefields and arrive safely at the other side. Read them when you need them.

About The Author
Author's Preface
Thank you for purchasing Desire: Never Fulfilled but Grows. This book has not come about as a result of my training as a therapist, but through some hard-earned lessons that I have experienced myself. This is how I know the path out of limiting beliefs and behaviors that hinder growth.
