Feelings Are Data: The No-BS Guide to Emotional Intelligence

By: Singh, Abhay

What if your emotions weren't problems to fix, but data to decode?

When a teen says "I need autonomy" and a parent hears defiance-or when a parent says "This is for your safety" and
a teen hears control-big words become battlegrounds. This book offers a better way.

Feelings Are Data teaches teens, parents, and mentors a revolutionary three-step framework: Signal → Meaning →
Move. Instead of floating in abstract values like respect, belonging, or safety, readers learn to:

- Notice body signals (tight chest, heat, flutter, slump)-the felt sense before words
- Translate big emotions into plain-language meaning for THIS specific moment
- Choose one small, testable move they can try within 24 hours

Drawing from Buddhist mindfulness, somatic psychology, and pragmatic ethics-made completely secular and
accessible-this guide tackles the realities teens actually face: late-night group chats, dress codes and rigid
authority, friendship drama, consent negotiations, failure and repair.

Perfect for neurodivergent brains, this book includes:
✓ The COMPASS framework for emotional navigation
✓ Digital Lag Check for impulse control online
✓ Validity Check for power imbalances
✓ Guidance-Co-design-Permission Ladder for parent-teen negotiation
✓ Emotion family guides (Heat, Pull, Shrink, Guard, Soften, Rise)
✓ Templates, scripts, and 24-hour testable moves

Whether you're 13 and deciding whether to stand up to a bully, 16 and navigating consent, or 40 and trying to set
boundaries without shutting down conversation-this book gives you the loop between feeling and skillful action.

No mysticism. No BS. Just your body's wisdom, turned into moves that work.
