It is not easy to understand our feelings – sometimes our fear, anger or joy is so strong and uncontrollable that it suppresses the mind, and sometimes it is so weak and implicit that we do not dare to trust them.
It is not easy to understand our feelings – sometimes our fear, anger or joy is so strong and uncontrollable that it suppresses the mind, and sometimes it is so weak and implicit that we do not dare to trust them. However, existential psychologist Alfried Lenglet is convinced that each of us is able to navigate the sea of feelings and manage our emotional state, and as a result, live our lives more fully, trusting ourselves and following our true desires. Compiled of articles and speeches by Lenglet (7 texts out of 10) and other European scientists, psychotherapists and existential analysts, this collection is the most comprehensive edition of the existential theory of emotions. Among the topics covered are the emergence of emotionality and aggression, the connection between mind and emotions, the significance of psychodynamics and coping reactions, the impact of pain on a person’s existence.
