When You Live for Other People is a compassionate, practical guide that meets this experience with warmth, clarity, and structure. Across its chapters, Elia Sal explores the dinner party, the four schemas, and the gap is the thing. It turns insight into realistic, repeatable next steps.

Inside, readers will find:
• clear explanations that make a difficult experience easier to name
• reflective questions and grounded practices
• small, realistic actions that can be returned to without shame

Written in direct, humane language, this book is for readers who want to feel less alone, understand what is happening, and move forward at their own pace.
