The Language of Emotions: What Your Feelings Are Trying to Tell You Paperback – 27 June 2023

An amazing book for anyone who wants to understand how to work with their emotions, and possibly thrive more than ever based on this new knowledge. This is something that hardly anybody is taught how to do, anywhere in the world, but it's vital skill for a happy and productive life!I'm still only in the first half of the book, but it's such an interesting read that I often read entire pages more than once just to absorb and remember significant passages with ease. And I'm already seeing an impact as I will sometimes recall something from the book when an emotion arises in my own daily life - I am able to look at it with more understanding and compassion than before, and I now understand what the emption is trying to tell me. This is amazing!!! I will update my review once I am done with the whole book.This is not a book that's meant for everyone, only for those who take responsibility for themselves and are into self development (so don't bother gifting it to someone who has no interest in taking responsibility for themselves. You can spot such people easily - blamers, shamers, manipulative people, bullies etc will never get the idea behind this book).But if you are a person who wants to understand the hidden but simple messages in each of your emotions, and how to effectively work with them so that they can help you navigate life, please do yourself a big favour and buy this book. Keep an open mind, read it slowly (rushing through the pages won't have the desired effect), and consider carefully all that you read - it is the easiest thing in the world to discount new ideas as rubbish, but we sometimes miss out on hidden treasures if we cannot entertain new possibilities.I also recommend checking out Karla McLaren's You tube channel where she has small videos on the same subject - these are a good aide to anyone reading this book, for me it's a further reinforcement of some wonderful ideas. I love her energy and how she puts her ideas forward, both in the book and her videos. In fact, watching the videos made me realise how happy and relaxed Karla seems compared to most people (despite having undergone tremendous trauma as a child), and she attributes this entirely to her understanding of her own deep and intense emotions - once she learnt how to work with them instead of suppressing or hating them, she blossomed into a serene and compassionate human being. I sure would love to be just as happy and relaxed in my own life, so I am excited to read the rest of the book! Honestly wish I had found this years ago, it would have changed my life.

Thanks to the writer, helped me understand the emotions better. This is a wonderful book, you’ll love to read. Friends go for it..

Just about a month ago, I would have laughed it out if someone told me that "Negative emotions"(atleast that's what they are called mostly) have a deeply meaningful, indispensable and ofcourse positive side to it. No more. This is must for every person with emotions (that's pretty much everyone), and Pure gold for all emotional shrines (in regular language, anybody suffering from BAD emotional issues).

Very good book.

good.

It is an awesome book.It changes the way we are handling or understanding emotions today. I am not able to keep the book down as it teaches a lot of stuff which i was really searching in order to build my emotional intelligence. As others have mentioned in the review, it is at times quite repetitive to get to a point, that is one thing which could be at times difficult to read the material, but otherwise the core stuff it tries to bring and the practices it teaches us his really life changing. I would definetely recommend this to everyone who wants to know how, what and why of emotions. Dont worry about the repetitive stuff ,it gets completely forgotten by the content it brings to us

The print is very very small . Very hard to read . Basically for this reason couldn't read it further ,just could complete few pages of book.

The author explains emotions and the role it plays in human life in a simple and beautiful manner. The exercise suggested are straightforward, easy to practice and very helpful
