Overview

We all know at least one person who has had or is having a difficult relationship with a parent. An estimated one-third of all Americans feel rejected to some degree by a parent before they reach age 21, and most carry those feelings to the grave. Feeling rejected by a parent often creates an inner deficit that affects multiple areas of a person's life into adulthood, forming a constellation of behaviors and personality traits the author has labeled preject syndrome (hostility, dependency, low self-esteem, emotional instability, emotional unresponsiveness, and a negative worldview), which has been shown by research to adversely affect performance in school and society, leading to unfavorable outcomes in every major area of life and wreaking particular havoc on achievement, career satisfaction levels, marriage and family relationships, parenting practices, and the ability to fully connect with others on a meaningful level. Written by a parental reject (preject) who, despite Mensa membership and a Princeton graduate degree, underachieved in every area of life until he developed and began to implement the Five G.R.A.C.E. Steps he now shares in this first-of-its'-kind book, Overcoming Parental Rejection And Hurts introduces prejects to the attitudes, principles, and skills they will need in order to overcome the limiting effects of parental rejection and enjoy a life full of acceptance, achievement, and love, for themselves and their own children.
