پیشنهاد نحوه مطالعه‌‌‌‌: به نظرم کتابی برای مطالعه کامل از ابتدا تا به انتها نیست. بهتره قسمت ابتدایی رو بخونید و بعدش به بخشی که برای شما مفید هست برید و تمرینها رو انجام بدید.

نظرم در مورد کتاب:
نقش احساسات در زندگی عموماً در کتاب‌های روانشناسی بهش پرداخته نشده و نمیشه یا حداقل من ندیدم.
اطلاع از اینکه احساسات آسیب دیده یا فروخورده چقدر میتونن به روح و جسم ما آسیب بزنن، تبدیل به افسردگی، دردهای روحی و دردها و مشکلات جسمی (با منشاء نامشخص! و حالا دیگه مشخص) بشن، چیزی بود که برام تازگی داشت و نمیدونستم.

چند بخش‌ کوچک از ابتدای کتاب کمی به سازوکار و تأثیر احساسات روی جسم و روان پرداخته، و قسمت اعظم باقیمانده روش‌ها، تمرین ها و دستورالعمل ها هست.


از این باب که من رو با مقوله احساسات آشنا کرد، خیلی عالی بود و حالا میتونم تو این زمینه کتاب‌های بیشتری رو جستجو و مطالعه کنم که شاید برای من مفیدتر از این کتاب باشن.
اگه همت دارین که تمرینها رو انجام بدین، فکر می‌کنم خیلی میتونه بهتون کمک کنه.

When Buddhists think about Emotional Healing, an emotion is only a momentary affair, and that emotion cannot last.
Therefore, people who suffer from mental health problems create their own worries, become fixated on them, and become attached to them, which causes them to suffer.

If you want to learn about mental health management, I recommend learning about Buddhist mindfulness.
