Apr 26, Kate Davis rated it really liked it Shelves: nf-howto-selfhelp , nf-resilience , nonfiction , nf-psychology. I love love love the principles of this book: That sadness and joy are both rooted in love. That we process sadness only by going through it. That depression and anxiety are a refusal of grieving well.

That by processing small losses, we are better prepared for big losses. That grief is what enables us to keep loving. Minus one star only because they use so many personal anecdotes. Helpful for many readers, I'm sure; their overuse annoys me. Apr 16, Shelby rated it it was amazing.

To help us to adapt and survive in whatever scenarios we are faced with on a daily basis. Sadness, for example, warns us that something is wrong and that we should stop, slow down and analyse the situation in order to make decisions.

Hence there is no such thing as a negative emotion. All of them fulfill a purpose that we must discover and take on board. Most psychologists find that their patients are genuinely surprised to be diagnosed with depression. They are often convinced that what they have had for the last few months was a simple case of sadness. On the other hand, there are those who go to a therapist or to their doctor asking for a treatment for depression, when in reality what they are experiencing is a clear intolerance to accepting emotions such as sadness, anger or frustration.

These occurrences undoubtedly pose a real problem, and this reminds us of the importance of instruction in the area of our emotions. Something that we cannot ignore is that some people simply cannot tolerate sadness.

And yet this emotion is actually necessary for our own personal development and for our capacity for daily improvement.

What we need, therefore, is to know the difference between sadness and depression, as well as the practical usefulness of sadness. In the first place we need to realize that it is a normal emotion, and we must tolerate it and delve into its causes. Therefore, if I am sad, my obligation is to stop, spend time, listen to myself, heal myself and untangle the mess in my mind in order to know what has caused me to feel this way.
