challenging emotional informative reflective slow-paced

This book takes a deep dive into the language of lived experiences and emotions that humans share, for the main reason of being able to cultivate meaningful relationships with those around you. Strong emphasis of having courage and being vulnerable (when appropriate) so that you can have true and close relationships built on trust and mutual understanding. 

I appreciated the audio book version I listened to from the library - she expounds a little and repeats definitions that are important or tricky to comprehend with only hearing once, and it read more like a podcast. That being said though, I did also borrow the physical copy so I could look and review the content right in front of me and take my time.

I took a long time reading this one so I could take simple notes of the definitions of the 80+ emotions she discussed. I'm hopeful that this will help me explain emotions and experiences in a way my child can understand so she can learn and grow healthy relationships with others.
