Emotional well-being is central to our good health in today’s world where mental and physical diseases are linked to our inability to cope with the stresses of modern living.
Mental diseases and diseases related to stress are shooting up in urbanised societies. In Malaysia, about 21% of our population have some form of mental illness. An average of 7 Malaysians commit suicide each day.
Negative emotions are linked to poor physical health. Anger raises cholesterol levels and heart attack risks by 300%. On the other hand optimistic people live 19% longer than pessimists.
Suicides, depression and hyper-anxiety among schoolchildren around the world have reached epidemic levels.
This book will teach you how to handle your emotions effectively, make you aware of your feelings and appreciate what you are able to do, and make relationships work better.
