Summary of Pete Walker's The Tao of Fully Feeling

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The disease of emotional emaciation is epidemic, and it is killing millions of people. We are becoming more and more driven and compulsive, and we are losing the ability to experience peace. #2 We cannot be whole human beings if we only experience the positive emotions. We need the darker emotions to access the infinite range of color, hue, and tone that makes life beautiful. #3 When we befriend our emotions, we suffer less from self-destructive flights from feelings. We accept the reality that our emotional nature, like the weather, changes unpredictably with a variety of pleasant and unpleasant conditions. #4 Forgiving your parents is a very personal process, and one that should not be rushed. Real forgiveness, as opposed to false forgiveness, requires the opening up of your pain channels so that you can begin to feel your feelings.
