The Astonishing Power of Emotions: Let Your Feelings Be Your Guide

Esther Hicks, speaking for the group of teachers known as Abraham, presents a system for managing emotions. The core idea is an emotional guidance scale that ranks feelings from despair to joy, and the book suggests that you can improve how you feel by reaching for a slightly better thought rather than jumping to extremes. It builds on the law of attraction, the idea that your focus shapes your experience.

It suits readers of spiritual self-help who like practical steps. You get a set of processes for working with negative feelings and a framework for interpreting them.

Practical, inward-looking, growth-minded and clear-cut; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Growth Strategist. Which reader are you?
