"The Fabulous Power of Controlling Emotions" is a book that delves into the emotions we all face, the benefits and the disadvantages of them, and helps to provide a solid foundation of knowledge and insight into how to control them for your own benefit and success in life. Breda Pope does an excellent job of keeping the guide straightforward, easy to understand and filled with knowledgeable advice, tips and strategies to master emotional upheaval. The idea of being able to significantly keep a handle on my jealousy when my friends get a great new job or to temper my anger when a co-worker treats me poorly... this is something that has value and I think that the author skillfully creates a pathway for doing just that.It's smart, practical, thought-provoking and insightful. The well-written book is filled with words of wisdom and age-old experience that makes it possible to take the reins of your emotions (from jealousy and addictive/obsessive behavior to harnessing hope or contentment) and truly live a well-balanced and successful life. Overall, the book was well worth the read with sage advice from start to finish.
