The Emotional Toolkit: Seven Power-Skills to Nail Your Bad Feelings Paperback – January 24, 2006

Since most, if not all people, experience negative emotions, most, if not all, people would benefit from the techniques in this book if they do not know them already.Speaking as a guy, guys can benefit from this just as much as women can too. In fact, guys probably need it more since society generally tells them to ignore negative emotions which can play a very useful role in their lives if they acknowledge, understand and work with them more thoughtfully to grow as individuals and members of collectives (family, society, etc.).This book is unique in that it's techniques are based on reliable, scientific knowledge and the experience of numerous people, not the unreliable, anecdotal and subjective claims that are sometimes found in the popular literature.

What a great book! As a medical doctor, I am aware of the many issues that all women face. This is a book that I have been looking for and I recommend it to friends, family and patients. Dr. Mininni's book gives women the tools and skills to solve the common issues we face. She provides real-life cases which she has backed up with excellent research and tools. She is an excellent writer and she clearly understands women (and men). Her practical approach has something that will work for everyone. I give this book and her approach my highest recommendation!

Realy good for those who want to self parent for the things they were on able to get during their childhood

I bought this book recently and when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised! The book was in excellent condition. There are many useful tips contained inside and I would advise anyone who is under a lot of stress to get this book - it definitely helped me!

Such a great resource for anyone looking to better understand their emotional processes and how to leverage them. We run a yoga retreat in Greece and use this book on our blog as a resource for our clients to help them learn mindfulness techniques. [...]

I loved this book! It gave me a new way of looking at various feelings, especially sadness, and some nice tools to add to my self-help toolbox. I haven't found many books that have dealt with sadness that give new ideas and practical suggestions on dealing with it, and I was delighted to see this one.

The sooner you read this book the better!

Great and to the point....

I loved this book! A really easy read (finished it in 3 days). very well structured. ideas are well explained and easy to follow. Practical tips are easy to follow and certainly implementable. a lot of it is common sense BUT the way everything is put together, the explanations and examples make this book very accessible and motivates to take action. at least in my case! ;-)One of themist valuable tips I found for my rumination tendency is to think: "a thought", and move on. The tip was mentioned in conjunction with meditation. But i found that even in every day life, this small trick was so helpful to put an end to an endless circle of negative thoughts to start.If I had to criticise something, that would be the amount of examples (too many at times). But then again, for others this maybe a good thing. And after all, one can skip them easily.So all in all, a great book. And I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to go past their "bad" feelings and rewire their brain towards more positivity in life!

It's a lovely book, lots of scientific research, tools, stories. Must buy if you want to get emotionally aware and resilient.
