Living beyond your feelings : controlling emotions so they don't control you

Living beyond your feelings Controlling emotions so they don't control you

Joyce Meyer, 1943-

Book - 2011

The average person has 70,000 thoughts every day, and many of those thoughts trigger a corresponding emotion. No wonder so many of us often feel like we are controlled by our emotions. Our lives would be much improved if we controlled them. In this book, the author examines the gamut of feelings that human beings experience. She discusses the way the brain processes and stores memories and thoughts, and then, emotion by emotion, she explains how we can manage our reactions to those feelings. In doing so she gives the reader a toolbox for managing the way we react to the onslaught of feelings that can wreak havoc in our lives. She blends the wisdom of the Bible with the latest psychological research. This is a comprehensive guide to the ra...nge of emotions that we feel every day and it shows us how to manage them, instead of letting them manage us. -- From publisher and book cover.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Evangelical Christian author and speaker Meyer explains in her typical straightforward style how controlling emotions can be when they take over an individual's life. Meyer is known for her bold delivery and in this work maintains that standard, offering readers plain truth on taking back a life that has been ruled by emotions for too long. The author recounts generously from her own life episodes of comical (or otherwise) moments when she allowed her emotions to overrule her better judgment, with disastrous repercussions. Readers will resonate with Meyer's ability to relate biblical principles to daily life as she tackles the gamut of emotions: anger and resentment; sadness, loss, and grief; fear; guilt, and regret. Meyer focuses on learning to think biblically, speak biblically, and then see lives and emotions transformed. Her many fans will not feel disappointed in her latest work. (Sept.)
