Interesting book that tells you how to deal with your emotions. One of the best quote that I love from this book is 'you are not your emotion'. So you are not angry you just feel angry. Emotion comes and goes.
It always stings a little to get called out in a book, but what else could I expect from a book that wants to help me? To re-assure me in my faulty behavioral pattern ? Yes I know I’m not the only one who has this tendency not to easily accept compliment. We always tend to return the compliment , or downplay or achievement. This habit might seem casual , it seeps into our mind and integrates within jt. Exhibiting self hate, and lack of confidence do not equate as being humble, it’s not a cute or...
Not that special - read Eckhart Tolle insteadThe book is meh. Some useful points but overall lots of mentioning other books. I suggest reading the power of now - Eckhart Tolle. It has a lot more to offer.
An easy read with some thought provoking material. I wouldn't say that this is the best self help book I have read but the way it is organized and grouped into topics, it can be easily used as a quick reference for some helpful tips.
Practical, easy, perspective on managing emotionsI’m not really big on emotions. I typically try to just suppress or ignore them and focus on moving forward. It will take a while to change, and I’ll probably refer to this handbook frequently, but I now have a different view of emotions and how to deal with them more effectively.
Basically a how-to for every emotion you ever had. Straightforward and easy to read, this book explains simple methods for effectively working through tough emotions and making the most of your happiness and potential.
Read this on a whim because it was free on Kindle Unlimited.As someone who finds himself sometimes overwhelmed by their emotions. Mainly worriness or nervousness, I thought I might give this book a chance. The layout of the book is great. Each chapter focuses on a different problem that is created by your emotions this may be jealousy, fear of unknown, anxiety and etc... Chapter starts out as to why emotions have something to do with this and how to combat it with some direct actions. I haven't
To be honest, this did nothing for me in the grand scheme of things. One cannot master ones emotions, control them perhaps, yet everyone has the predisposition to fly off the handle from time to time, so really this becomes redundant very quickly in my opinion...
Mildly interesting one time read. This book gives a mildly interesting perspective of treating emotions. Treat emotion as a temporary visitor in your mind where they come and go but you still remain. Hence, be mindful enough to treat it literally like a visitor and not so seriously. Just as Rudyard Kipling says in 'If' - 'if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those imposters just the same'. I'd say if we can treat the positive and negative emotions the same, then you've got a deal....
The guy (quoting other authors doesn’t make one an author) did a little research on emotions by reading other self help books and watching TED talks on Youtube and shared a few nuggets of wisdom he learned.The book is only half written and hardly edited. The title is misleading. There’s almost no insights on how emotions work, or references to scientific literature. He throws out an idea and then literally says: “if you want to know more, search “topic X” on YouTube.” Sorry, but I paid for this
I’d recommend this if your feeling a bit flat and demotivated I read this book as I was feeling pretty down in the dumps and I could understand why, the book is well written and not overly serious. I finished it in a few days.The key points were the author helps you to get inside your mind areas where you just need a little push.The paragraphs on motivation and depression were especially good as these areas affect a lot of us, the Author helps to think about what’s going on and to give you that
God, I feel like an asshole whenever I put a somewhat negative review.That aside, this book didn't really do it for me. As with all self-help books, there were a few nuggets of wisdom that stood out to me from others within its genre, but in this case they weren't explained in a cohesive manner. I think there's a lot of value in detaching yourself from the idea of your immediate thoughts and emotions (?) being an ego inclined to defensiveness and rash action in the pursuit of self-preservation,
It's not a completely bad book, but the few ideas that are useful are kind of obvious and more importantly are lost among vast amounts of irrelevant information. The author tries to cover as many topics as possible, from Depression to Procrastination, which does not do this book any good.
Good bookNegative emotions are a part of human life. Deal with it. Don't fear. Face it. Use it grow yourself. Yea
