“Relationships are ruined every day because of lies,” says Hill, a former IBM executive. “The most damaging lies are the ones we tell ourselves.”
While it may seem obvious that personal well-being is largely based on self-determination, the reality is that too many of us – perhaps most of us, at least sometimes – not only forget that we have the power to change; we often tell ourselves lies that impede our own progress, she says.
“No one wakes up and says, ‘I want a miserable, unfulfilled and unhealthy life.’ What then prompts people to continue dysfunctional and toxic, limiting, self-destructive behaviors?” Hill asks. “The book brings this self-sabotaging behavior to the surface and guides you through a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement.”
In the forward of “Lies, Love & Life,” best-selling author and psychologist Dr. Alan Zimmerman provides an overview of all that people risk and lose when “they pretend not to know” what they know, in fact, is true.
“If you’re ever going to be truly happy and really successful, you’ve got to stop ‘pretending’ … or as Cathy Holloway Hill says … stop lying to yourself,” Zimmerman writes.
“Reading Hill’s book is as good as hiring a life coach,” writes best-selling author Simon T. Bailey. “… The book challenges us to see all the ways we deceive ourselves into living half lives and to jump from that sad state into a life of real meaning and truth. This book will make your life a lot more authentic …. Everything worthwhile requires work, and Cathy has mapped it out for you in a very easy-to-understand manner.”
“Holloway-Hill’s book is an honest and insightful examination of the powerful ways lies grow and shape our reality once we allow them to become a part of our personal narratives,” writes CNN, E! and MSNBC media personality S. Tia Brown. “(It is) a critical resource for anyone ready to move beyond feelings of inadequacy and lack.”
