To control our emotions is to control ourselves, and to control ourselves is to control our destiny.
It has forever been said that we are ruled by our emotions, but this today is truer than ever. Much more than reason or tradition, it is our emotions that determine our choice of profession, partner, and politics, and our relation to money, sex, and religion. Nothing can make us feel more alive, or more human, than our emotions, or hurt us more. Yet, the emotions are utterly neglected by our system of education, leading to millions of mis-lived lives.
This book proposes to redress the balance, exploring over 25 emotions and drawing some powerful and astonishing conclusions along the way. Areas covered include: loneliness, humiliation, envy, greed, ambition, anger, forgiveness, empathy, love, self-esteem, and many more.
How can we turn boredom inside out? How can nostalgia help us? When is anger justified? What do all instances of love have in common? What is the secret to self-esteem? Get you copy now to find out!
Burton is never short of an interesting and sharp judgment. -Prof Peter Toohey, Psychology Today
[Heaven and Hell] challenges our understanding of emotions we experience but do not really think about… a fascinating read. -British Medical Association Book Awards
I do love to read a book on occasion that gives me a mental workout, and this one certainly had my brain doing calisthenics! -Jamie Bee, Amazon Top 50 Reviewer
