I spent a number of years after Vietnam trying to come to terms with myself and my feelings. I just couldn't seem to sort things out. Successful relationships have been an impossibili for me. Yours is the first book of its kind that I could actually relate to and have received so many useful insights."Reverend Christina Laurie, Pastor, Glastonbury United Methodist Church:"I give How to Make Friends With Your Feelings to every couple for whom I perform a wedding.

With some embarrassment I said, 'I know that you each are a together person and you have a good relationship with each other, yet I would like you to have a copy of this book.' Two weeks later the groom called to thank me for the book and said that they read it together every night when they go to bed."

I feel closer to people around here now."Jim Cathcart, CSP, CPAE, Author of Relationship Selling, Past President, National Speakers Association:"Few peo

This book is an owner's manual for human feelings.

In my experience, there are two basic types of nonfiction books: the kind you read and then carry the gist of it around with you, and the kind to which you keep referring back. Some common examples of the second kind of book are a dictionary, an Encyclopaedia, or computer software documentation. Jay Uhler's wonderful book, How to Make Friends With Your Feelings, also is the second kind of book. It's very much like an owner's manual for human feelings. Jay identifies the basic pallet of seven emotions from which the entire spectrum of our visceral response derives. He devotes an entire chapter to each feeling, telling us how to identify it, giving us permission to have it, and showing us how to use the energy coming from that feeling to help ourselves and others. He achieves this goal with tremendous kindness, good humor and a plain-spoken writing style that is accessible and encouraging to anyone (and I mean anyone) who can read English. People who have felt themselves deficient as readers may even come to realize, through this book, that the joys of literature are not in fact denied them! Speaking as an athlete, coach, sports psychologist and martial arts instructor, I can assure you that the source of all human energy and achievement is simple, clear, raw human feeling; and the source of most apparent human "failures" is the blocking, denying or otherwise expressing our feelings unclearly. How To Make Friends With Your Feelings is the best possible feelings "coach" that you could ever have in the form of a book.
