Additional text

'This is an excellent book. It is accessible and written in common-sense language, yet its evidence-base is broad and scientifically sound. Dr Howells has managed to cut through those aspects of mental health care that can mystify and pathologise, to focus on the central issue that matters most to us all: how we and those we work with can live rich, full and healthy emotional lives.'　
Peter Cairns, Clinical Psychologist, Norfolk, UK
‘Given the importance of our emotional life to our sense of wellbeing and resilience it's surprising we give so little thought to understanding our feelings and how they work. This book, based on the emerging field of emotion science, will go a long way in helping anybody, especially young people, learn how to read their feelings differently, have new ways of coping with difficult emotions and accessing the positive ones.’
Steve Killick, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Director of Feelings are Funny Things and author of Emotional Literacy at the Heart of the School Ethos
