Throughout the book, Martin praises her now husband for tolerating these moods and letting her grow through them, while also recognizing these moods create who she is. The stories are at times uncomfortable only because they’re so relatable. In each of these mood chapters, Martin uses personal anecdotes and examples from her own life to highlight how she was able to overcome and change the narrative on her own bad emotions. In the book, she breaks down the moods into several categories, including: In part, it was this community of women who helped her gather the confidence to write such a raw portrayal of the human spirit. Since that time, her following has blossomed, as other women around the world were feeling the same barrage of ugly moods and emotions. What started as a place for her to show quotes from women who experienced similar things inevitably changed her life. The quotes, mostly from women, helped shape her primary voyage into writing when she launched Words of Women, long ago. Martin relied heavily on quotes she came upon while trying to understand the shifts of her moods. She doesn’t shy away from the moments she knows she overreacted, or times of immature behavior. So often negative emotions and moods are never translated into powerful growth tools, but Martin shows all of that is possible in the book.
Martin is critical in her explanation of changing the narrative on bad moods. She transitions from someone who let her moods deteriorate relationships in her life to someone who learns to sit with her moods and name them before responding. It took a random meeting with a stranger for Martin to realize she could do something to combat these feelings.
THE BOOK OF MOODS HOW TO
She didn’t know how to tame or name her feelings of anxiety, infieriority, and irritability.
The book begins with Martin feeling unsettled even though she had a great job, boyfriend, apartment, etc.
THE BOOK OF MOODS PROFESSIONAL
Martin uses her own stories of love and loss within her personal and professional life to show her growth over a period of five years. For classification purposes, I would label this book as half self-help, half memoir. The Book of Moods: How I Turned My Worst Emotions Into My Best Life by Lauren Martin dives deep into naming our various moods and how they affect us. Our next book up for review reads like a punch right to your ego.
