About this ebook

The average person has 70,000 thoughts every day, and many of those thoughts trigger a corresponding emotion. No wonder so many of us often feel like we're controlled by our emotions. Our lives would be much improved if we controlled them.

In LIVING BEYOND YOUR FEELINGS, Joyce Meyer examines the gamut of feelings that human beings experience. She discusses the way that the brain processes and stores memories and thoughts, and then - emotion by emotion - she explains how we can manage our reactions to those emotions. By doing that, she gives the reader a toolbox for managing the way we react to the onslaught of feelings that can wreak havoc on our lives.

In this book, Meyer blends the wisdom of the Bible with the latest psychological research and discusses: the 4 personality types and their influence on one's outlook, the impact of stress on physical and emotional health, the power of memories, the influence of words on emotions, anger & resentment, sadness, loss & grief, fear, guilt & regret, the power of replacing reactions with pro-actions, and the benefits of happiness.

Ratings and reviews

Joyce has such an extraordinary wealth of knowledge, experience, and resources - and when combined together, you have a woman who is more than capable of changing your life. If not for her teachings, and these books, I would not be the wife, mother, daughter, etc. - that I am today. She expresses things in a way, that allows the reader/listener to connect on a much more personal level - establishing trust right off the bat. I recommend these books to everyone - whether you believe in God or not.

You learn to forgive, and live a happier and healthier life. I picked it up and didn't want to put it down. Loved it.

Was a great book to read. Made me think a lot about the way I need to learn to control my emotions, and stop letting them control me.
