I started this book after reading The Art of Empathy, a later book by Karla McLaren. The Language of Emotions has some new insights for me, like the different intelligences within you (body, intelligence, emotion and spirit) and that it takes all four to make healthy decision. It sometimes felt however that it was written for people with a lot of problems with their emotions, and not for people who can already handle their emotions well (let them flow freely, as she calls it) but want to improve on it. For that purpose, I recommend The Art of Empathy.
