The old psychological models that focused on past hurts and traumatic memories have given way to exciting new breakthroughs, like Dr. Martin Seligman's work on post-traumatic strength and Dr. George Pransky's work on human beings' innate resilience and well-being. No more fixating on psychic wounds that occurred in childhood. Chandler's new revision looks at the work of both of those pioneers and makes optimism available to people who never believed they could reinvent their old ways of being.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 191
World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea - the power of our mindset. Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success - but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment but may actually jeopardise success.

Most of us believe that we will finally feel satisfied and content with our lives when we get the good news we have been waiting for, find a healthy relationship, or achieve one of our personal goals. However, this rarely happens. Good fortune is often followed by negative emotions that overtake us and result in destructive behaviors.

Publisher's Summary
When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. Risking little, we feel safe, in control, and on-track. But when life throws us a curveball or does not live up to our expectations, we end up with an Expectation Hangover. This particular brand of discomfort is profoundly sobering and uncomfortable.
Christine Hassler urges us to not wallow in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, and instead see these hangovers as catalyst for profound transformation. Often life has to throw us a curveball (or several) so that we look in a different direction. When we fully treat our Expectation Hangover on the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level, we learn courage, faith, surrender, and love, and we make room for the kind of unexpected things that lead us more directly to a life we love - rather than a life we planned.

Simple and profound book!
This has become one of my new favourites in the self-help category. I love how digestible and simple the explanations are of concepts that I know can take years to truly grasp. Such a testament to the deep level of inner work the author has obviously done to understand herself including the workings of the mind, the ego and the journey required to cultivate faith in something greater.
Expectations are at the root of so much of our human suffering and this book explains how expectations negatively impact us and how we can break the cycle of feeling inadequate, disappointed and dissatisfied with how life unfolds.
I have already recommended the book to friends and clients and will read again for sure.
I think anyone could benefit from this book (men & women of all ages). It is an easy read with simple language and it's packed with gems of undeniable truth that will have you nodding along.
The narrator was great too! Clear, energetic and nicely paced.
I highly recommend this book!

Good book for the beginner
If you are a bigger in personal development this book is for you. Many of the tools she uses are known reframing techniques, shifting your focus, looking at this from a different perspective and creating a balanced life.

Good Tools
There a lot of good tools in the books. I'm going to get a hard copy as well. The only thing I did not like is the name of the book expectation hangover.

Christine wth
I found this book through her podcast which is really good.
I am so confused about her voice on this book. It’s not even her voice but has this weird narrative tone. It would be perfect for story telling. But it’s odd and hard to concentrate when her tone is so random for the book topic. I can barely pay attention to anything being said.
If this narrator was reading a story that has characters and dialogue it would be perfect.

Expectation Hangover Hangover
I could not finish because of the incessant repeating of the words Expectation Hangover. There are nuggets of knowledge here but it seems like it could be summed up in a much shorter book.

Narration Tone not in Alignment with Author
I am a new and regular listener to Christine's podcast. respectfully the Narrator is in no way in alignment with the tone that Christine keeps with her audience. I couldn't get past the voice even though Christine's amazing content is still there. May I please get this taken off my library and be given a credit to my account?

Not that interesting
The narrator has an annoying voice and the content wasn’t that life changing. There is too much reputation of the words “expectation hangover”.

Helped me and my daughter so much! Love it!
Love her views, sensible options and metaphors. The exercises are brilliant. Allows people to literally, emotionally and mentally take a step back and look at their reactions.
