This is a landmark book in Self Help. Emotions have a specific
evolutionary purpose: to spur us toward actions that help us
survive. The thoughts and behaviors that result from our
attempts to cope with these difficult, unstoppable emotions can
create deeply entrenched patterns that do more harm than good,
causing depression, anger, anxiety, and suffering. Mind and
Emotions is the first book to reveal the seven unhealthy coping
styles that are at the root of all suffering and emotional
disorders. In this book, readers learn to recognize the critical
moment when an emotion reveals itself in behavior and work
toward acknowledging that they have a choice in that moment.
Little by little, through exercises, worksheets, and daily
practice, readers develop a new way of coping with negative
emotions. This universal treatment offers readers the most
effective techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT),
dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and
commitment therapy (ACT) for facing difficult emotion
