    A compelling, relatable and powerfully moving memoir of people-pleasing, family and what it means to love and be loved, from radio presenter and podcaster Linda Marigliano. 
     
    Linda Marigliano has built a career out of performing for other people. In her day-job as an on-air presenter or in her family home, she contorted herself into 'the cool girl' or 'the good girl', and struggled to ever truly switch off.  
     
    As she repeatedly over-committed and sought approval in all its guises, she started to ask herself: Why am I like this? Combing through her complex relationship with her mother, the sense of duty within her extended Italian and Chinese-Malaysian families, and the twisting turns of both her career path and her love life, she noticed a pattern emerging.  
     
    Her love language had warped into acts of service that pleased everyone but herself, without boundaries or exceptions. And she'd lost the ability to translate the vocabulary of love being spoken all around her.  
     
    Love Language is Linda's determined reclamation of her identity; a fiercely relatable and viscerally honest account of what it means to love and be loved.

    WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF ME 
    (Is none of my business) 
    Everyone who has ever walked the face of the earth has at one point felt unworthy, unloved, uninspired, lost, hurt, overwhelmed, angry, scared or frustrated. 
    What if you no longer had to feel this way? 
    What if you could create the life you wanted? 
    What if the words and actions of others had no influence over how you felt? 
    Wouldn’t suicide rates decrease and domestic violence be less of a scourge on society? 
    Nothing in your life is your fault; but everything is your responsibility. 
    Would you hand the controls of a plane over to someone less qualified than you? Then why let other people control how you feel? 
    ---------- 
    Through reading over 900 books on personal development and working with experts like Tony Robbins & Dr John Demartini, J.D Moorea (Dan Shearin) discovered a simple yet effective way to overcome almost any challenge that life threw at him. 
    From seeing himself as a victim of suicide, a co-creator of volatile relationships and being publicly defamed, then wrongly charged with murder, J.D has since found peace and happiness in all areas of his life. He now wants to share his learnings with those who may have lost their way, or feel unsatisfied with their life. 
    If you have ever contemplated suicide, been in a violent relationship, felt unworthy, been bullied, harassed or discriminated against; then this book is for you.
