Can you point to other models that are so clearly and concisely explained? Would really like to read that.

- hosh 12y agoYou're better off picking up a meditative practice with just enough "seed" and go from there. It's a kind of empiricism where you observe your experience, and in which insights naturally emerge from being aware of your experiencing. In a practice like that, eventually to get to the deeper stuff, you drop your attachment to models and explanations.
- gress 12y agoNo, because in my experience emotions are not clear and concise. They are a very complex and nuanced way of generating relatively rapid responses to our environment based on our genetics and our experience. Our experiences are complex, therefore so are our emotions. However his book: Shame and Pride: Affect, Sex, and the Birth of the Self, by Donald L. Nathanson Describes one system that I have found helpful. It's not concise, and it's not easy to read, plus there are obvious flaws, but I thought it was still as good as anything I've encountered.
