Customer Reviews

An excellent review of the dynamics of the emotions.

Dr. Haldane has successfully presented his readers with a short, highly readable book. The book is comprehensive and far-reaching in its purpose, yet it is elegant and well written. I have found that my psychology students and colleagues alike, found the book to be one that they can use in their everyday life and practice. There seems to be a consensus among the readers that I have spoken to, that the author has successfully demonstrated both the theory and practice of working with the emotions. That is, the manner in which the author demonstrates the dynamics of the 4 major emotions--joy, anger, fear and grief--does not only make a great deal of common sense, but also allows for a richness of the theory of emotions to evolve. Finally, his theory is practical in that the reader can easily apply his or her new-found understanding.
