The Power of Feelings: Discover Your Emotional Compass

By Vivian Dittmar

About this book
Feelings and emotions shape our lives, whether we like it or not. We spend
considerable time and resources avoiding some of them while chasing others.
And we often do so without truly understanding what feelings and emotions
actually are or why we have them in the first place. This book is a travel
guide to the unknown territory within you. Using simple, clear language, it
walks you through the world of feelings, in which anger, fear, joy, sadness, and
shame each serve an important function. Every feeling is a powerful force
which, once harnessed, can be applied intentionally when needed.
Most people are unaware that they create their feelings. They experience
them as random, irrational surges of sensation with mysterious origins in the
unconscious. From these dark depths, feelings seem to ambush them without
warning, and often at the most inconvenient moments. But feelings actually
arise from the interaction between thought and environment. Thoughts and
feelings are not, as is often assumed, opposites-they are interdependent.
Feelings reflect thoughts because they are generated by them and through
them. A feeling is based on the interpretation our mind makes of its
surroundings. Once you've recognized this connection, you can use your
feelings intentionally instead of fighting against them.
This book guides you step by step in understanding what feelings are as
well as how you can consciously generate and harness their power. Through
this approach, you'll no longer be at the mercy of unpredictable surges of
sensation. Instead, your feelings will become valuable tools, empowering you
to actively shape your life.
