Emotions by Mike Annesley

Unless you understand your emotions, you will never be able to attain self-fulfillment or realise the full potential of your relationship with yourself and others. Combining the findings of psychology with those of various therapeutic disciplines, including mindfulness and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), this book offers welcome insights, knowledge and practical advice – including tried-and-tested step-by-step exercises – within a subject area that can often seem confusing to the lay person. A unique feature of the book is its comprehensive coverage of the whole spectrum of emotions, organized with unprecedented clarity – while doing full justice to the complexities of the subject. Since the key to emotional balance is self-understanding, this treatment of such nuances as the differences between anger, resentment and hostility has great practical value. We learn about the emotional patterns of trigger and response that can become entrenched and undermine our fulfilment.
