The pursuit of happiness is universal. Most of us would like to experience more joy and happiness, but when we feel that we are not achieving it, we may feel disappointed. Often, "unpleasant" emotional states, such as anger and jealousy, are seen as flaws or serious illnesses.

In the book The Positive Power of Negative Emotions, Dr. Tim Lomas reveals that these "negative" emotions are not only normal and natural, but may also serve as pathways to the happiness and personal growth we seek. Anger may indicate that you have faced injustice and urge you towards change. Guilt suggests that you have disappointed yourself and motivates you to do better. Jealousy may drive you to improve yourself and your life. Boredom may be the key to creativity and self-transcendence. Loneliness allows your true voice to be heard and teaches autonomy.

The book The Positive Power of Negative Emotions will be your guide to using your "dark" emotions to discover what you truly want and who you want to be. It will radically change the way you think about your emotional life and empower you to use your negative emotions in positive ways.
