Never Go to the Market Hungry: Emotional Decisions and Their Impact on Consumption, Relationships, and Choices (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195173456)

Have you ever made a decision that felt right in the moment, only to leave behind a sense of regret, urgency, or emptiness?

Starting a relationship out of emotional need.
Accepting a professional opportunity out of fear of being left behind.
Buying something that promised relief, but only created more noise.

Going to the market hungry rarely ends well.
The same is true when we make choices from emotional hunger.

In Never Go to the Market Hungry, Erica Reis uses a simple yet powerful metaphor to explore how decisions made in states of lack, inner urgency, or emotional instability can affect relationships, spending, career choices, and everyday life.

Drawing on her clinical experience and a mature perspective on personal responsibility, she examines:

- how emotional hunger shapes relationships
- the impact of emotions on spending and professional decisions
- the internal mechanisms behind impulsive choices
- the difference between a real need and inner urgency

This is not a book of quick fixes or instant transformation.

It is an invitation to develop awareness before making decisions.
To recognize your inner state before confusing urgency with truth.
To choose with more clarity, responsibility, and emotional maturity.

Because maturity is not about avoiding choices.
It is about learning to choose without hunger.

Erica Reis is a writer, clinical psychoanalyst, and integrative therapist with more than 16 years of experience supporting emotional processes and adult decision-making.
