Add to basketPaperback. Rejection is not a defeat; it is an invitation. You do not fight harder to keep what is passing, but to be clear, strong and gracious when you come back to yourself. It may seem like a loss, but it is the initiation of sovereignty. When you quit, you quit chasing, quit pleading, quit overexplaining, you make room- at least in relationships, but also in identity. Detachment isn't apathy. It is dynamism, not desperation. It is having the courage to say, my peace is my right, my values and principles are the only comprehensible thing, and my worth is far greater than the unnecessary and unreasonable slowness of another person. The Detached Advantage is the art of withdrawal without collapse. Taking away a step, not to penalize, but to save what is sacred, your mental lucidity, your self-respect, your development. It is the appreciation that value can not be validated by proximity; value is embodied by absence. That even walking away properly speaks louder than any argument can ever speak. It is creating a life in which rejection transforms into polishing. In a culture where self-esteem is not cultivated, and where speaking is regarded as a sign of weakness. And you cease to be afraid of no, saying that now you no longer require yes to make you complete. A purposeful leader who performs on principle and remains soft without being influenced. In love, in work, in life, you learn to be without attachment, to desire without ambition and to be in relation without need. And after a time, when you finally detach, completely and with love, something very surprising occurs: you become magnetic. Not simply because you made an effort, but because you have come to be whole. Just because of rejection, the end is not gone. It is your actual origin. The point you either give up attempting to be selected or switch and select yourself. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
