You can also check out Jacqui’s new book, The Cult of Dissatisfaction.


Dissatisfaction is something which appears to be ever present in today’s society. It comes from many sources and is difficult to pin down to one thing, or a single life event. It is something which seems to have increased with our wealth and is an emotion as destructive as they come.


In The Cult of Dissatisfaction, Jacqui looks at the culture of dissatisfaction, the symptoms and causes of it and how you can change it within yourself.
