Hard feelings are hard. Time to make them easier.

Hard feelings are hard.

But they don’t have to be.

Being human is messy. Especially when it comes to our emotions. So many of them are unpleasant, unwelcome, and a lot of the time, really confusing. And there's no instruction manual.

Feel them? If I have to, I guess.

Show them? It depends.

Get to know them, intimately? For most of us, that's a hard pass.

So how do we deal?

That's where this book comes in.

Drawing from years of experience as a therapist, author Mark Nash offers a clear, practical framework for navigating painful emotions. You’ll learn how to recognize what you're feeling, stay with it just long enough to learn something useful, and allow it to move through you without getting stuck or causing harm.

Whether you’ve spent your life pushing feelings down, getting hijacked by them, or just wishing they’d go away, this book will help you discover that emotional pain isn’t your enemy. In fact, it might just be your best teacher.

“The goal isn’t to become perfectly calm and unbothered. It’s to get better at working with our emotions so they don’t run the show.”

What People Are Saying

“I’ve often thought that we should be given an emotion manual at birth. This is it!”

“As a therapist, I’ll be recommending this book to all of my clients. Simple, practical and easy to read. You’re guaranteed to increase your emotional IQ. You may even laugh out loud, or shed a tear. This is a must read!”

“The humanity of the author’s voice — the laughter, the tears — compelled me to start rereading it instantly.  It's full of useful insights and tools that made me wonder how I got by without them”
