Embrace the complexity of emotions!
We live in a world that often demands emotional simplicity—be happy, stay strong, don’t overreact. But real emotions are anything but simple. They’re layered, tangled, and often inconvenient. They surprise us. They contradict each other. And when we try to avoid their complexity, we lose something essential: connection to ourselves.
In Learning to Feel, Second Edition, one man dares to stop simplifying—and starts feeling. A trained psychologist, the author spent his life understanding emotional theory, but it wasn’t until he confronted his own emotional disconnection that he realized understanding isn't the same as living.
His journey back into feeling wasn’t quick or easy. It involved peeling away layers of learned detachment, confronting discomfort, and finally learning to experience his emotions instead of just labeling them. Along the way, he discovered that the complexity he once tried to avoid was, in fact, the key to living fully and honestly.
This powerful memoir is more than one man’s story. It’s a trail map for anyone who has ever felt numb, disconnected, or overwhelmed by their inner world. Each chapter ends with reflective questions, gently inviting readers into their own emotional exploration.
To embrace the complexity of emotions is not to get lost in chaos—it’s to recognize that our feelings are not problems to be solved, but truths to be heard. Sadness can sit beside gratitude. Anger can hold hands with love. Confusion can lead to clarity.
Learning to Feel reminds us that when we stop trying to simplify our emotional lives, we open the door to healing, authenticity, and real connection—with ourselves and with others.
Your emotions aren’t too much. They’re just waiting to be felt.

Book description:
Learning to Feel, Second Edition: One Man’s Path of Reconnecting to the Heart of Emotions
Understanding emotions isn’t the same as feeling them. For one man—trained in psychology and fluent in the theory of human behavior—the real challenge began when he realized he had become emotionally disconnected from his own life.
Learning to Feel is a deeply personal memoir of emotional awakening, where the author peels back the intellectual layers that once masked his true feelings. What unfolds is a powerful journey through the stuck places we all carry—toward vulnerability, healing, and the full experience of what it means to feel.
This second edition features updated insights and chapter-end reflection questions, making it both a guide and a companion for others ready to explore their own emotional landscapes. With honesty, clarity, and compassion, the book offers trail markers for anyone seeking to reconnect with the heart of emotions—whether for healing, growth, or simply to feel more alive.
