Nothing can make us feel more alive, or more human, than ouremotions, or hurt us more. Yet, the emotions are utterly neglected by oursystem of education, leading to millions of mis-lived lives.

Areas covered include:depression, anxiety, anger, boredom, laziness, guilt, envy, greed, ambition,lust, sadomasochism, humiliation, loneliness, courage, empathy, friendship,love, self-esteem, and much much more.
