The Gifts that Lie Hidden within Difficult Emotions (Part 1): Confusion
Are you confused about your direction in life?Do you struggle with a lack of clarity?Do you suffer from fear of the unknown and an accompanying anxiety?Would you like to experience a greater sense of spaciousness in your life? And in your heart and mind?In this book, you will discover how you can work with your confusion and denial, and how you can turn them around to your benefit. This is a book on how you can get to the heart of confusion to find its intrinsic gifts.
Discover and uncover the hidden narrative within difficult mental and emotional states
In some self-help and meditation circles, it’s common to hear the refrain, “Just sit with your feelings.” What’s often left unsaid is how each emotion has its own signature movement or “story to tell.” In other words, sitting with confusion is different from sitting with anger, which is different from sitting with loneliness, and so on. Not only does each emotion have its own distinct narrative and manner of unraveling, but each has its own unique gift to impart to those who are patient enough to sit through the unfolding.
In each of these short books, I focus in on a specific emotional and mental state and present a map of the terrain you’ll likely traverse when you eventually do sit with and process that particular emotion at hand.
My hope is that you’ll find inspiration and value to sit with and to digest—that is, to “eat”—these difficult emotional and mental states as they arise and offer their hidden and sometimes surprising gifts.

Thank you
Very nice reading. To-the-point. Saving time and space:). Having it read made me re-think my personal attitude towards confusion. Now, I will do nothing (at least the closest to nothing I can get) for the next minutes:)

3.5 ⭐️ I found myself confused about my own confusion as I worked through this but there were certainly some important take-always and I do plan to read the other books in this series. In the authors defense, he does recommend reading through more than once so I may need to take him up on that.

A short notebook giving you the right amount of inputs/direction of how you can see and consider the so called confusion . A short read and a good one .
