Choosing Emotions: Thinking with Your Head and Acting with Your Heart - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

“Why do people act that way? How can I feel better?”
Understand you. Better. Start with putting words to your emotions.

Most people have words for only a fraction of what they really feel.
So they react instead of respond.
They manage instead of master.
This book gives you the specific words and phrases to change that.
