Emotional Genius: How Your Emotions Can Save Your Life

All of your emotions - especially your strongest and most difficult feelings - are storehouses of unlimited energy and astounding wisdom. For instance, your rage can give you superhuman strength, your fear can save you from certain death, and your shame and depression can bring you to a complete (and often necessary) halt. Imagine what you could accomplish if - instead of repressing your emotions and losing your energy, or expressing them haphazardly and losing your way - you could marshal their energies and use them to increase your awareness, heal your relationships, and address your deepest wounds.
