The top comments have dissuaded me from reading the book. What book should I read to learn how to process my emotions more effectively?
I found the idea of this book interesting because it seems to encourage "precision" in describing how one "feels".
> instead of saying “I’m scared,” she blurted out: “I’m experiencing high arousal from uncertainty.”
Are there other schools of thought in emotion-processing which are (i) not crank, and (ii) do a good job at teaching one how to process?

- pdamoc 6y agoRead "Affective Neuroscience" (or Archeology of the Mind) by Jaak Panksepp for a better understanding of where emotions come from (primary affect). Read "Mindsight" by Daniel Siegel for a view on higher level emotional processing. You can "sample" his ideas by watching some of his interviews on Mindsight. Read "Passage Meditation" by Eknath Easwaran for a simple and accessible program of meditation. Meditation, in its various forms, improves emotional control.
