Description

Why do we get angry? Is depression just a very strong sadness? What should you do if you’re plagued by shame or fear? Where are the boundaries of mental health? This emotion guide will help find answers to these questions. Practicing clinical psychologist Lawrence Howells explains in detail seven core human emotions—fear, sadness, anger, disgust, guilt, shame, and happiness—and shows how to learn to live with them.

The author describes seven “emotional traps” that arise when we get used to responding to life events in an unconstructive way, and explains how to get out of them. Based on methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, the author offers effective exercises and clear examples that will help you learn to understand and accept emotions, become happier, and support loved ones.
