  Unconditional love is often spoken of in soft tones and poetic phrases—as if it’s something simple, automatic, even easy. But if you’ve ever tried to love fully and freely, without expectation or self-protection, you know: it takes work. Real work. Inner work. The essence of unconditional love isn’t found in a single act of kindness. It’s revealed in our willingness to look within—to understand why we react the way we do, where our emotional triggers lie, and what parts of our past still shape the way we love in the present. That’s where  Learning to Feel  begins. This book is not about suppressing emotions or floating above them. It’s about entering the heart of them—discovering what is ours, what is borrowed, and what no longer serves us. As we do that, we gain something extraordinary: the power to choose how we feel and how we respond. And when we gain that choice, love changes. It becomes less about control, more about connection. Less about fear, more about freedom...

We live in a world where understanding emotions is often prized—but  feeling  them is something else entirely. For many of us, especially those trained to analyze, explain, or manage emotions intellectually, there comes a moment when theory isn’t enough. That moment is where  Learning to Feel  begins.

With chapter-end reflection questions and updated insights in this second edition, the book becomes a space for  shared learning —where your own journey can unfold alongside the author’s. It’s a...

  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 mo...
