Love takes effort: Self-love takes even more

Listen the first key point

The desire for love is natural to every individual. From adolescence, we try to get attention from those who attract us. We strive for partners, relationships, acceptance, and understanding. We face obstacles, challenges, and small tragedies whenever a relationship ends. Through the pain of disappointment and the joy of new encounters, we learn about the world and gain valuable experience that reveals previously unknown aspects of being. Varying factors shape our personalities, from our relationship with our parents to the music we listen to and the books we read. But how can you avoid losing your true self in the vortex of these events and feelings? How to understand where your boundaries end? How to stay honest with yourself and not betray yourself?
The most important relationship is the one you build with yourself, but it's also the hardest.
Dolly Alderton seeks answers to these questions and sincerely shares her experience of complex emotional states and feelings. Her intimate confession about the challenges of growing up makes you think about your life and reconsider understanding the concepts of love and friendship. It is not a romantic story about finding a significant other but a memoir of a long journey to oneself and one's identity. Here you will learn about the pain of loss, disillusionment, the consequences of an existential crisis, and the power of friends who support and stick by you no matter what. The lessons Alderton learns will help you realize the value of your experiences and feel that you are not alone in this unpredictable world.
To choose to love is to take a risk. ~ Dolly Alderton
second key point

Real-life relationships are different from online ones

Do you know the feeling of desperate anticipation, waiting for a message from an online friend? Your heart flutters, your palms sweat, and real life seems unimportant. During her teenage years, Dolly Alderton got hooked on MSN Messenger and sucked into the world of online communication. It was her first experience with boys. Even during vacations and trips with her parents, she sought a way to connect to the Internet and continue messaging with friends. Rather than walking in the fresh air and soaking up the sun, Alderton spent most of her time in a dark basement to receive the warmth of online communication. Her parents did not prevent this hobby because they understood it meant a lot to her. There she met a guy who liked her. They shared their experiences, dreams, jokes, and, of course, their favorite music. A real-life meeting was the logical next step, but it ended in disappointment and led to a breakup. The online image of the boy did not correspond to reality.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
