Author Description

Your emotions give you energy and guidance in every walk of life. Yet they can be self-defeating and destructive as well. Dr. Raynard brings 35 years of broad experience in science and clinical experience in many settings to show how each of the 14 major emotions can be fulfilled and integrated into you life. He describes vividly the experience of emotions, the history of emotions and up-to-date science of emotions. His model for the purpose of emotions shows how each emotion originates in a relationship, and how each can become an entrapment or a fulfillment, depending on how each is acted on. The destructiveness and entrapment of moods are described as well as the role of emotion in the latest discoveries about happiness. In this wide-ranging book, Dr. Raynard also describes how emotions are transcended and become the basis of morality and spiritual life. Counselors, the curious, and the troubled will all find this book immediately useful and enlightening. Dr. Raynard also has a related series of self-help books on each emotion that describe in clear, practical action-steps how each emotion can be fulfilled.
