    Learning to Feel   by Kris Girrell has been a favorite since its release a month ago, spending most days in the Amazon top 100 in its various categories and reaching #1 on hot new books on Amazon.  Also, already, it has gathered a number of 5-star ratings. Here, from Amazon, where all reviews are 5 stars: #1.  The author uses his personal journey in learning to feel to expose universal struggles we all can relate to. Great reminder that our emotions are our greatest teachers and this book teaches how to listen to the lessons they are trying to teach. #2.  I never thought taking a journey through the lifetime of a man from boyhood deep into manhood could be so invigorating, enlightening and abundantly full of learnings. In this book Girrell lays his soul out for all to see in such a vulnerable way that one must laugh, cry and experience the world with him.

  A new book by Kris Girrell, author of Typhoon Honey , is now available on pre-order: Learning to Feel . From the moment we are born, we as humans are blessed with emotions. We feel joy and love, and with that comes fear, sadness and grief. In all honesty, though, those are overly simple labels for our feelings. Under the surface, our emotional experience is far more complex and personal to our own lives.   Kris Girrell, with his background in theology and psychology is more than aware of the plentiful and complex emotions humanity is capable of, so imagine his surprise when his wife accused him of not being emotionally intelligent. He had gone to therapy, he had done the work to try to understand his own psychology, so what was missing?   This question set Girrell off on a quest into his deepest, most hidden emotional core. He sought to not only discover what defines emotional intelligence, but to develop and mature his own emotional experience. His goal with this book is, fi

  This past week Typhoon Honey (Girrell & Sjogren) has received two stellar book reviews: From Readers' Favorite review: After reading Typhoon Honey, I felt I had unlocked something supernatural—a new pair of glasses that gives me a different, liberating view of the world. The idea that "what we see is filtered and tainted by our belief system" is helping me to examine learned beliefs that no longer serve me in the process of deconstructing them. Typhoon Honey is filled with several exercises, details about experiments, and examples from the authors' personal experiences and that of the people they know. I got a clear understanding of the concepts as different scientific and psychological studies are juxtaposed with several real-life examples. I believe that the mind-blowing ideas and stories in this phenomenal self-help book by Kris Girrell and Candace Klein Sjogren could help unite the world and reduce suffering as they encourage readers to heal from harmful, d
