Series: Being Human

A specialist in human psychology explores our increasing disconnection with the physical world, and its impact on leading a meaningful life.

Meet Walter. Walter is waiting on some important news, but his world grows increasingly hazy as he distracts himself with his devices. Will it make a difference to Walter in the end if the news is good or bad?

The Dragonfly in the Haze emphasises the importance of staying present and living consciously. The concise, insightful narrative uses metaphor to delve into the complex workings of human psychology, and make them accessible for all readers. The narrative concludes with a deep exploration of a unique teaching, and a practical process for readers to implement in their lives. It is an essential guide for those who seek to lead a purposeful life filled with meaning and deep connections with others.

The Being Human Series

This is one of four books in the Being Human series, a self-help collection that dives into the complexities of the human condition. Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teachings, the stories focus on the importance of developing psychological resilience to help us deal with life’s challenges. Each book stands alone but, when read together, offers a thorough understanding of our shared human experience.

""In The Dragonfly in the Haze, Carrie does a brilliant job of highlighting how easy it is to become disconnected from the physical world. This book is a timely and wonderful reminder to reconnect with our senses and notice the beauty and wonder that is around us every day."" -- Kate James, Mindfulness coach, Author of Change Your Thinking to Change Your Life. “Dr Carrie Hayward has done such a good job of writing these stories to help make important, complex ideas understandable and relatable” -- Lucy Durack, Actor, Writer and Co-founder of Hey Lemonade. 'This charming and wise story teaches a counter-intuitive life lesson: If you are not willing to have the emotions you have, that is what you'll get. Highly recommended.” -- Steven C. Hayes, Ph.D. Originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy “Carrie has an incredible ability to clearly identify and articulate the complexity, the struggle and the beauty of the human experience. As a result, reading these books/this book can help us feel less alone in our sometimes challenging journey of life. She harnesses the power of story, and adds evidence-based theory and accessible strategies. In doing so, she offers us both a companion for life and a practical resource to support us to live with more purpose, passion and connection. I cannot wait to recommend these beautiful books/this beautiful book to all of my clients as well as savor my very own copies” -- Liv Downing - Psychologist, Meditation & Mindfulness teacher, Author.
