A powerful, intimate, and incredibly relatable chronicle of transformation, proving that you really can turn your worst moods into your best life.

One of Amazon's Best Books of DecemberThe Happiness Project meets So Sad Today in this "hilariously witty, unflinchingly honest" book from Words of Women founder Lauren Martin, as she contemplates the nature of negative emotions -- and the insights that helped her to take control of her life (Bobbi Brown).  Five years ago, Lauren Martin was sure something was wrong with her. She had a good job in New York, an apartment in Brooklyn, a boyfriend, yet every day she wrestled with feelings of inferiority, anxiety and irritability. It wasn't until a chance encounter with a (charming, successful) stranger who revealed that she also felt these things, that Lauren set out to better understand the hold that these moods had on her, how she could change them, and began to blog about the wisdom she uncovered. It quickly exploded into an international online community of women who felt like she did: lost, depressed, moody, and desirous of change.  Inspired by her audience to press even deeper, The Book of Moods shares Lauren's journey to infuse her life with a sense of peace and stability. With observations that will resonate and inspire, she dives into the universal triggers every woman faces -- whether it's a comment from your mother, the relentless grind at your job, days when you wish the mirror had a Valencia filter, or all of the above. Blending cutting-edge science, timeless philosophy, witty anecdotes and effective forms of self-care, Martin has written a powerful, intimate, and incredibly relatable chronicle of transformation, proving that you really can turn your worst moods into your best life.

In this story, the main character discovers all the ways anger finds its way into everyday life. Triggered by moments of not getting what is wanted, the child expresses anger in several ways, including screaming, stomping, and yelling. The child compares this negative emotion to the force of a storm. Is there a way the child can calm down before the storm of anger gets out of control? Can a child's outbursts be managed, or will they feel that the emotion defines them? Does anger have a purpose like any other emotion? Is it okay to feel angry sometimes?
