by Joyce Meyer
On This Page
Description
The average person has 70,000 thoughts every day, and many of those thoughts trigger a corresponding emotion. No wonder so many of us often feel like we're controlled by our emotions. Our lives would be much improved if we controlled them. In LIVING BEYOND YOUR FEELINGS, Joyce Meyer examines the gamut of feelings that human beings experience. She discusses the way that the brain processes and stores memories and thoughts, and then - emotion by emotion - she explains how we can manage our show more reactions to those emotions. By doing that, she gives the reader a toolbox for managing the way we react to the onslaught of feelings that can wreak havoc on our lives. In this book, Meyer blends the wisdom of the Bible with the latest psychological research and discusses: the 4 personality types and their influence on one's outlook, the impact of stress on physical and emotional health, the power of memories, the influence of words on emotions, anger & resentment, sadness, loss & grief, fear, guilt & regret, the power of replacing reactions with pro-actions, and the benefits of happiness. show lessTags

I love Joyce Meyer's books. Let me start by saying I am not conservative at all. These books are not just for conservative Christians. I always get a lot out of Joyce Meyer's books. She gives ways to live like God would want us to live as we deal with our little every day lives with all their frustrations and conflicts. She has been through some unimaginable problems in her life but she has made it through. She has a great sense of humor and honesty. This book looked at a lot at different personality types, encourages you to identify your own to help with getting along with others as well as controlling (not denying) our emotions. Great book.
Don't let feelings rule your life! Learn to manage your emotions rather than allowing them to manage us.
This book also discusses the 4 personality types; impact of stress, power of memories; anger & resentment, sadness, loss & grief; fear; guilt & regret; etc.
