{"product_id":"joshuas-shadow-the-many-faces-of-envy","title":"Joshua's Shadow: The Many Faces of Envy","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAccording to Jewish midrash, Moses, near the end of his life, relinquished leadership of the people of Israel. When he learned that he would no longer be allowed the privilege of speaking directly to God, because that honour had now been given to his successor, Joshua, Moses was so filled with resentment that he asked to die. Joshua’s Shadow is a core truth that lurks within each one of us: there is part of us that finds it impossible not to burn with envy when someone has what we do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe ubiquitous and all-consuming power of envy has many faces. It is that forbidden desire for whatever our neighbour desires. It is that hidden malice that takes delight in another’s misfortune. It is that feeling of impotence that arises within us because of what someone else has. It is that insidious power that lurks beneath family rivalries, that punishes excellence, that drives men’s hatred of women and fuels the most vicious of political and social animosities of our time. And yet, we seldom talk about it. It is ‘the secret sin’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith compelling, down-to-earth examples from classic literature, film, politics, history and examples from his own practice in psychotherapy, Barry Robinson, unveils The Many Faces of Envy, one of the best defended secrets of our time. This is a book that will challenge you to look at yourself and your world with a view to being more conscious of envy’s many traps and to appreciate rather than deprecate what others have that you don’t.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barry Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67856581361942,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0480\/4870\/1606\/files\/JoshuasShadow-COVER.jpg?v=1793359081","url":"https:\/\/volumesdirect.com\/products\/joshuas-shadow-the-many-faces-of-envy","provider":"Volumes Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
