Feel. The untaught skill of listening to your emotions

Our emotions inform every moment of our lives. They influence our every action. Yet there is a massive gap between what our parents taught us about our feelings and the skills we need to pilot the ship that is our lives. Millions of us are struggling with our emotions-alone and together. When we don't know how to handle them, some feelings can shatter our sense of self and our relationships. And, if left unchecked, these feelings leak out into our workplaces, organizations and society, often with tragic but utterly foreseeable consequences.
BUT feelings are also the essence of what it means to be alive. Through years of research, including her own, Harrison came to understand that the path to better emotional health has two parts. First, we need a deeper and more nuanced understanding of our own emotional weather. Then, armed with that insight, we must learn how to transform how we respond to our emotions. These two skills ultimately decide whether we experience well-being or suffering, and whether we create those states for others, too.
Organized around the 40 most common feelings, from the most painful (despair, loneliness, grief) and most destructive (anxiety, shame, anger) to the most desired (hope, love, joy) and most profound (serenity, awe, belonging), FEEL draws on deep research, tailored interventions, and compassionate guidance. The reader will learn how to spot each emotion, how to respond to it, and how to harness it for its unique purpose.
Channelling the more philosophical dip-in-and-out approach of Oliver Burkeman and the beloved children's movie Inside/Out, FEEL is the essential resource every human needs to escape from emotional spirals and genuinely thrive.
