The Seventh System is about the human emotional system which encompasses all emotional states and regulates how people feel moment to moment and through the years. Unlike many other psychological texts, it is a comprehensive view that covers the full range of human feelings.
The book offers a big picture way to understand how momentary feelings come to be and how the different feeling states are interrelated. It presents both the understanding and the tools to manage ordinary emotional transitions more effectively. Readers can expect to become more emotionally stable and resilient, to suffer less and learn to recover more quickly from emotional distress and discomfort.
The early chapters are an overview of emotional health and how the emotional system functions, including how to recover one's balance after disruptive events and feelings. The next chapters address the importance of truthfulness, the role of attention, and the comprehensive model that ties it all together. These are followed by individual chapters on the primary feeling states, including love, happiness, grief and sadness, anger and hatred, and fear. The last chapter, on self love, pulls it all together in a satisfying conclusion.
Over 60 case studies, written as personal stories, illustrate every point. The writing is clear and accessible to anyone. The Seventh System has at least something of value for every reader.
