Loss of control

Intelligent emotional management is more important for our happiness in life than a high IQ

Having control over your own life and emotions is one of our primary human needs, as it is the only way to feel secure.

Staying in control is a fundamental human need. It is the only way we can feel safe. Losing control over your feelings or behaviour is highly unpleasant. For some, this "happens" more often than for others – for example, when they get trapped in endless thought loops or plagued by unrealistic worries. It is also easy to lose control during moments of anger and irritation, which then leads to stress in relationships.
This book explains what loss of control is, how it happens, and what strategies exist to combat it. Simple exercises help you recognise typical false reactions wired into the brain and resolve destructive internal behavioural patterns. The book helps you restore balance and serenity to your life.
