Feelings are what they are. We categorise them as negative and positive. The role of negative feelings is to inform us that not everything is all right. They are like alarm clocks and people who trigger them are like messengers. You don’t get mad at the messenger, do you? Then why do you get angry with people who stir up those feelings?

This book talks of feelings hiding behind painful reactions and shares tips for dealing with them. The more aware you are, the more open you can be and the more room there is for positive feelings.
