This is a book on how to gain control of one's emotions. It is a
serious book that contains a theory of automatic processing it
presents and its implications for controlling emotions. Epstein is
a professor of personality psychology and a highly regarded
research psychologist who has supported his theory with extensive
research published in the most demanding professional journals. He
was motivated to write the book by the success of a course he
taught based on his theory. Students reported obtaining an
understanding and control of their emotions that they never thought
possible and that they said changed the course of their lives.
According to the theory, people operate by two minds, a
rational-analytical mind and an intuitive-experiential mind, the
latter being intimately associated with emotions. Each mind
operates by its own principles and each has its own form of
intelligence. The intelligence of the rational-analytical mind is
measured by IQ tests and the intelligence of the
intuitive-experiential mind (which is related to emotional
intelligence) by the Constructive Thinking Inventory (CTI), a test
developed by Epstein that is included in the book. By understanding
the principles of operation of the intuitive-experiential mind, it
is possible to train it as well as to learn from it, and thereby to
improve one's emotional intelligence. The book provides exercises
for applying the principles in everyday life and a review of a
variety of other procedures for improving emotional intelligence.
It is suited for use as a primary or supplementary text in courses
on improving emotional intelligence or coping with stress as well
as for individual reading.
