Healing The Wanting: The Foundation Trilogy: What You’re Really Hungry For: Recognizing The Wanting That Drives You

What if you’ve been trying to fix the wrong thing?

You’ve worked on yourself. Read books. Maybe made progress. But something still feels off—a persistent sense that something’s missing, an emptiness that keeps returning no matter what you do.

The problem isn’t what you think it is.

The problem is wanting itself—the deep, often hidden feeling that something essential is absent from your life. Until you can see wanting clearly, you’ll keep chasing solutions that don’t last.

This book turns on the lights.

What You’re Really Hungry For is the first book in the Healing the Wanting series, and it does something other books skip: it teaches you to recognize what you’re actually dealing with—before jumping to fixes that won’t stick.

YOU’LL LEARN TO SEE:

→ What wanting actually is—and the many forms it takes

→ How wanting hides, disguises itself, and operates beneath your awareness

→ Where your patterns come from—the personal wounds that created them

→ How your own thoughts create and maintain feelings of lack

→ The cultural forces that manufacture scarcity—so you stop blaming yourself for what isn’t your fault

→ Why getting what you want often doesn’t end the wanting

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF:

✓ You’ve tried to change but nothing seems to stick

✓ You sense there’s something deeper going on beneath the surface

✓ You want to understand WHY, not just be handed techniques

✓ You’re tired of quick fixes and ready for real understanding

✓ You’re willing to look honestly at yourself and your patterns

✓ You’re ready to stop treating symptoms and address the root

WHY START HERE:

You can’t heal what you can’t see.

Most approaches jump straight to solutions. But how can you fix something you haven’t clearly identified? How can you heal something you don’t understand?

This book gives you the recognition skills that make all other healing work more effective. Whether you continue with the Healing the Wanting series or apply these insights to other approaches, seeing clearly comes first.

ABOUT THE SERIES:

What You’re Really Hungry For is Book One of the Foundation Trilogy—the essential starting point for a planned 15-book series. Book Two (From Shame to Dignity) provides the healing practices. Book Three (From Grasping to Gratitude) teaches you to sustain your freedom long-term.

The trilogy stands complete on its own. Future books will offer specialized applications, but these three give you everything you need to recognize, heal, and live beyond wanting.

After two decades of personal healing and professional study, Nancy Boyd created the framework she wished had existed—one that addresses root causes, refuses quick fixes, and honors the complexity of real life.

Recognition is the first step. This book shows you how to see.

Your journey toward wholeness begins here.
