"Emotional Literacy": The heart of classroom management is a pioneering book for primary school teachers, counsellors and therapists who wish to develop emotional literacy skills in classroom situations. It provides resources for managing the 'feeling' life of children and offers: a classroom management model that creates opportunities for healing emotions, rather than emotions being denied, repressed, discounted or excluded from the process; an understanding of the non-verbal languages and skills needed for children to identify the basic human feelings of anger, grief, aloneness, fear, judgement, and the bully and victim behaviours arising from such feelings; group classroom exercises that help reduce the possibility of major behavioural problems or psychological disturbances; and, simple self-managed processes that give children basic skills to identify and manage their own emotions.

For the ten years following his abandoning his house, he is left with no one but his faithful Guenhwyvar, a magical Panther he had acquired in Homeland. He is also met with great dangers that he meets with the business ends of his scimitars. Struggling with conflicting emotions, which involve his failure in Menzoberranzan and a deep grief for his father and friend Zaknafein, he makes his way to the surface to face newer dangers.
A renowned expert in nonverbal communication, Paul Ekman has led a
revolution in our scientific understanding of emotions. Now he
assembles his pathbreaking research and theories in a comprehensive
look at human emotional life. Emotions Revealed explores the
evolutionary essence of anger, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust,
contempt, and happiness. In the process, he answers such questions as: What triggers emotions
and can we stop them? How does our body signal to others whether we are
slightly sad or anguished, peeved or enraged? Can we learn to
distinguish between a polite smile and the genuine thing? Unique
exercises and photographs help readers identify emotions in themselves
and others. Emotions Revealed is a practical, mind-opening, and
potentially life-changing exploration of science and self.

Robert C. Solomon, Not Passion's Slave: Emotions and Choice
The idea that we are in some significant sense responsible for our emotions is
an idea that Robert Solomon has developed for almost three decades. Here, in
a single volume, he traces the development of this theory of emotions and
elaborate it in detail. Two themes run through his work: the first presents
a "cognitive" theory of emotions in which emotions are construed primarily as
evaluative judgments. The second proposes an "existentialist" perspective in
which he defends the idea that, as we are responsible for our emotions.
Indeed, sometimes it even makes sense to say that we "choose" them.
