Emotional Enlightenment: Managing Feelings for Success

Learning to interpret and understand our own emotions is the most important step toward self-knowledge. But the repression of feelings that is often encouraged in modern society has made it surprisingly difficult for many of us to attain this essential goal. In Emotional Enlightenment, psychologist Jane Birdsell dissects feelings in such a way as to reveal what they really are, how they develop, what causes them, and how to manage them when they are negative. This enables you to become an expert on your own emotions, leading to a sense of control and self-confidence. It also empowers you to interpret the emotional experience of others allowing you to more fully understand them. This self-awareness and understanding of others is the key to success in your personal and professional life.
