•Choosing Emotions by D. Earl Johnston was one of those books that I picked with high expectations.
Choosing Emotions by D. Earl Johnston was one of those books that I picked with high expectations. Usually, with my experience, that doesn’t go well, but, fortunately, that didn’t happen in this case.
This book is an odyssey to human emotions and how we can all evolve as a person if we try to understand the definitions, depth, and meaning of all the emotions surrounding us every day.
I loved that with a simple need to help and research about depression, the author immersed himself in a fantastic world of 272 different emotions, all relevant in their own way, and managed to understand them with caution and a very critical way of research. The truth is that our emotions are all described in general terms or spoken about as simple scientific definitions, when they are in fact much more complex.
With this book, I understood not only what is behind every single emotion but also how some people perceive them in different ways, which is very useful in order to contradict some of these states when they are overpowering our peace of mind. I also believe some of these clarifications are useful to help others and stop enabling certain behaviors, such as on the topic of codependence, where instead of helping our loved ones bring out the best in them, we support their bad habits and thoughts, which is something that perhaps most of us don’t realize we are doing and would never associate it with codependence as well.
I think it is pretty obvious at this point that I loved this book and cannot point out a single downside. The book is long and complex at times, but the theme does justify a deeper explanation and the insertion of several quotes in order for the reader to truly comprehend some of the emotions described and how different people feel and react to them, whether they look at it on a positive note or with fear and anguish.
The book is free of errors, the editing is perfect, and I gladly rate it 5 out of 5 stars. As the author says, we can all guarantee a happier life if we find space to create harmony between our heads and our hearts, and this is precisely what I felt like I could take from this reading experience. We usually describe our head as our enemy, especially when we suffer from anxiety, traumas, or some form of depression; however, if we manage to connect our head to our heart and make peace with what we are feeling, I have no doubt we can create a better life and stop being overstimulated or overwhelmed with some of our emotions, which is why anyone who would love to emerge in this journey and understand their emotions will love this book.

Dear Men, When someone comes to you with a problem, it’s best to try and fix it, right? Wrong. Not every problem needs a solution right away, especially when a friend comes to you in a state of emotional distress or frustration. What they do need is space, support, and validation. Sometimes saying, “What can I do to help?” is the most caring response you can give. These quotes from CHOOSING EMOTIONS might help you remember these elements of emotional connection 🤝 . . . . . . #emotionalhealth #mensmentalhealth #communication #emotionalliteracy
By now most of us are familiar with the box-office hit OBSESSION. But is this emotion deserving of its psychological horror story? The truth is, obsession (real obsession) is a pretty unhealthy emotion. One of the main factors at play is control. Obsession bogs us down. We can allow our brains to be completely controlled by obsessive thoughts. But we always retain our ability to choose among our thoughts. Our greatest resource is our ability to focus our attention! Nikki didn’t have a choice, due to the supernatural curse element of OBSESSION, but thankfully we do. CHOOSING EMOTIONS is available now where you buy books.

When we respond thoughtfully instead, we take back our power and choose the best path forward. You have more power than you think.
