Changed my life

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2018

I’m a lifelong introvert and software developer. I’ve struggled in the past working with difficult people. This book helped me disassociate with certain narratives I’ve been telling myself for years (e.g. “my way is correct” or “so and so is detrimental to our team”). The mental gymnastics I’ve been playing for years has only succeeded on causing me suffering. Kudos to the author for his advice to “try to spend an entire week without complaining and see what happens” because “we become what we think about all day long”

Okay read

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018

I thought that this book was an okay read.

I have read a variety of other self-help books and I did like how this one is more clean cut and to the point, not wordy at all. But that is also the draw back. There is a lot of white space in the book. The actual reading of the book (not the printed step-by-step workbook at the end) is 184 pages. I feel like a lot of the answers you could google on the internet and learn there, but it is nice that it’s all complied in a book. So those are my thoughts. I like how you can tell the author has read many other books because he takes snip-its from well-known books. All of the principles he mentions are the basics / principles of self-help books. I would say this would be a great starter for someone beginning to read self-help books because it has all of the basics. Another suggestion is to change the look of the front cover so it’s more appealing.

Overall, I give it 3 stars.

Fascinating breakdown of the human psyche and ego in easy to understand language

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2018

I've read many of Thibaut Meurisse's books, but this one is probably my favorite. I think that too many people fail to understand their own emotions and how they motivate them through life. The world would certainly be a better place if we all had a better understanding of what is actually driving us forward in life, and why. We should question why we desire the things we do, and if acquiring them actually benefits us in any real and positive way. This book breaks down the human ego and emotions in an easy to understand fashion, blending psychology and philosophy with steps you can take to improve your life, starting today. Read it, it'll make you a better person. And isn't that what we all came here for?

Such a helpful book!

I originally purchased the Kindle version however, after I got about a third of the way through the book, I returned to order a paperback copy to keep. I love this book! Thibaut Meurisse isn't just helping me with some troubling thought-emotional connections but also helped me understand in a very easy to grasp way what having attachments actually means and why it is not healthy. (Attachment isn't love, it is identifying with a thought for example that then causes you to become attached to it through identifying. Making it personal and trying to analyze it.) I am so thankful I found this book and its author! 🙏💗🕉️ Namaste!

I love purchasing self help/improvement books so much that at times, I feel that they can be repetitive ,so I start skimming through the book and before I know it- I’ve read “most”of the book. Master Your Emotions was a book that I chose based on amazon reviews and , without a doubt, I loved it and read from cover to cover The author reviews emotions that can hold us back and how we can improve. It was exactly what I was looking for in this period of my life and I hope to purchase another book to give as a gift. I will surely look into the books that were referenced in the book and purchase other books that were written by the author. Thank you Thibaut Meurisse!

One of the best self help books I have ever read!

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018

The author writes clearly without the “ Mumbo jumbo” of some other books I have read. He gives straightforward reasons why we do what we do, and ways of controlling our negativity. You will learn more from this book than a Psych 101 in college!

Easy to Read and Well Written

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018

Well written in an easy to read style. Also, I found it very informative. The chapter on the ego was interesting and different in this type of book. So was,the chapter on how Dopamine affects the brain was good. How emotions are formed and letting them go are also covered. Informative and enjoyable.

I HOPED (as always) for something that will work

Once again---touted as the 'holy grail' yet, I can't even get past the first 5 pages! I have decided that 'self-help' books are ONLY about helping the person who WROTE the book to have a better life....kind of ticks me off. If I had a nickel for every 'help' book-- I could happily live in France. I honestly just want a decent book that spells it out simply and honestly! How hard is that? Apparently TOO HARD.

Emotions understood

A great book about 'blacks & whites' of our emotions. Techniques and ways to handle them constructively. Well written, very structured. A fantastic overwiew of the subject, that is too often presented in a complicated way in the psychology literature. A guide how to live a better, fuller life.

Busy with Book Content—No Time for Negative Emotions!

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020

Thank you for writing this book! I’ve been so busy with the accompanying “Master Your Emotions Workbook”; I’ve had no time to stay in negative emotions. This has been a great purchase for me. If you are struggling with ANYTHING, read this book. There is a lot of information here, but go at your own pace and please be patient with yourself.

I just finished the book and I’ve implemented one of the many exercises I want to do. The author calls it a “Self-Esteem Jar.”

You are to write down everything you’ve accomplished on separate pieces of paper and put it in jar. It can be a fancy jar and fancy paper—if you like. (I found one at my local dollar store). It can be small or large tasks.

I’ve been doing this for a few days and realized that I actually get a lot of things done. I’ve been way too hard on myself; causing frustration; causing anger; making my own self sad. Then I get on Amazon and download books that I don’t read and get even more sad!!!

Give this book a try. I believe you’ll find something in it—that will help you greatly; I did!
