INTRODUCTION TO EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

EMOTIONAL WELLNESS RESOURCES

Aristotle wrote that emotions “are all those feelings that so change men as to affect their judgments and that are also attended to by pain or pleasure." * Although there is not agreement, most writings conclude there are 5 basic emotions: joy (and its negative counterparts unhappiness, stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness) fear, sadness, disgust, and anger.

This section identifies resources that describe how emotions impact our lives, our relationships, and our decision-making, and how we can strive for emotional wellness by recognizing and counter-acting emotions that do not promote wellness through resilience, empathy, anger and stress management, forgiveness, gratitude, positive relationships.

Grit by Angela Duckworth, 2016
“Grit delves into the personal ingredients of great success. It’s worth reading…the gist is that talent and skill are less valuable than effort.”
—Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times
"A fascinating tour of the psychological research on success...A great service of Ms. Duckworth's book is her down-to-earth definition of passion. To be gritty, an individual doesn't need to have an obsessive infatuation with a goal. Rather, he needs to show 'consistency over time.' The grittiest people have developed long-term goals and are constantly working toward them."
—The Wall Street Journal

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
"A uniquely funny and moving story about Greg, a high school senior who avoids deep human relationships as a way to safely navigate the social mine field that is teenage life. In fact, he describes his best friend Earl, with whom he makes short-film parodies of classic movies, as being 'more like a co-worker'. But when Greg's mom insists he spends time with Rachel, a girl in his class who has just been diagnosed with cancer, Greg discovers just how powerful and important true friendship can be."
