Throughout the book, Dr. Heller highlights ways to identify and address ones emotional triggers, gain increased self-awareness and self-control, and foster mature relationships. Heller expertly weaves together case studies, practical exercises, and her personal history as the daughter of Holocaust survivors, guiding readers through a deeper understand of the mechanisms of the emotional self.
Relationships dominate our inner world, and we become more empathetic and compassionate when we look inward and examine ourselves, wrote Dr. Heller. As a result, we recognize othernesswe acknowledge that other people are not extensions of ourselvesand we develop tolerance and respect for people with different points of view, experiences, and wisdom. We will be much less likely to blame those closest to us for our baggage. We become more comfortable with uncertainty. We become more loving and the best version of ourselves.
