ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In the instinctive depths of our being, we dont think; we feel. We are made of emotions. Throughout the centuries, we have fought to shut these emotions up in organized, repressive systems of living. When faced with their mandates, one can only resign oneself or rebel. Currently, we live in a world that overwhelms us with temptations and multiple choices, and we have to decide in solitude who we are and why living is worthwhile. This new freedom demands a compass that allows us to navigate with emotional intelligence through the unpredictable channels of our lives.
This book goes through human beings different stages of emotional and social maturity, not only as individuals, but also in relation to the people who make up our environment: parents, children, partners, colleagues, friends, etc. In the 21st century, thanks to the gates that neuroscience has opened to us, emotions can be classified, understood, and even managed: they are the key to our nerve center, whether you call it brain, soul, consciousness, or free will.
Elsa Punset composes an essential work in which she unites her own experience with formal research to tackle the most relevant topics in raising children, those that will determine their adult personalities, and the role that feelings play in this process. This is a manual that offers us the indispensable keys to avoid capsizing in times of rough weather. An irreplaceable compass for emotional voyagers.
