You know a book is impacting you when you find yourself exclaiming 'Yes' and 'ha!' R. Leahy's book is full of sharp pieces of wisdom with veins of gold. It reads like a well written collection of the best teachings on emotion. Sure to prod beginners to self awareness and wise old heads to remembrance.

Understand that all emotions are temporary. That statement made by the author was important. I also deal with difficult emotions and I agree with him. So then I wanted to know how to deal with emotions that are running my life. What I learned was that I needed to pay attention to the emotions and learn to put things into proper perspective but also not ignore them. I also worry a lot. I believed I had reason to do so but after reading and working on the concepts in the book I see that my worries can be more helpful when looked at in a different light
This book is meant to be used and worked with. Taking time to log my worries and emotions gives me a chance to look at what I am doing that is making my life more difficult. Excellent resource for realistic living/
