How to Use this Book
The Empowerment of Emotional Literacy

“Helping people better manage their upsetting feelings; anger,
anxiety, depression, pessimism, and loneliness is a form of disease
prevention.
Since the data shows that the toxicity of these emotions, when
chronic, is on a par with smoking cigarettes, helping people handle
them better could potentially have a medical payoff as great as
getting heavy smokers to quit.”

Daniel Goleman (b. 1946), author, psychologist, and science
journalist

How to use this book and how to get the very best from it.

This book is designed to build and to develop, to extend and
to enhance your emotional vocabulary and the fluency of your
emotional language.

In my work as a therapist I continually meet people who are
experiencing challenging times and the one common
denominator that I find, regardless of individual
circumstances, is that every single person that I meet is
struggling to relate to the way that they are feeling.

They are struggling to understand their emotional
experiences.
