The Book of Emotions. How I Turned a Bad Mood into a Good Life

This book is a reflection of all the shades of mood that I have ever experienced. Every argument, every breakdown, every missed opportunity. A map marking all the places where I lost my composure and control, stumbling upon something completely insignificant—a glance, a comment, a thought. Lauren Martin is a successful girl who got a job in New York, found love with a wonderful young man with whom she lived in her own apartment in Brooklyn, yet despite the external well-being, she continued to feel unhappy. A chance encounter with a charming stranger who shared her experiences opened Lauren's eyes. To understand the reasons for her own dissatisfaction and to achieve peace and harmony with herself and those around her, Lauren began to study and describe her own moods and share her observations on her blog, Words of Woman. Her experience, summarized in this book, has helped thousands of women learn to manage their moods and live life to the fullest, answering important questions: • Why is it so difficult to simply be happy? • How to learn to manage your own moods? • How do moods differ from emotions? • What provokes a good mood and what causes a bad one?
