Eḥsāsāt-e ‘amīq: Vaqtī owżā‘ khūb nīst, chegūneh ḥālemān khūb bāshad Persian 2025

The book Big Feelings, written by Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy, explores seven difficult yet common emotions in everyday life: uncertainty, envy, anger, burnout, perfectionism, helplessness, and regret. The authors present these emotions not as signs of weakness, but as natural and deeply human aspects of living—experiences that, when properly understood, can lead to growth and greater self-awareness.

Each chapter focuses on one of these emotions. It begins by examining its roots and underlying causes, then analyzes its impact on behavior and decision-making, and concludes with practical strategies for responding more effectively. Drawing on scientific research, interviews, and the authors’ personal experiences, the book offers a realistic and relatable portrayal of these emotional states. Clear charts and simple illustrations further enhance clarity and accessibility.

One of the book’s central messages is that not all negative emotions need to be “fixed.” Sometimes, the goal is to recognize them, accept them, and learn how to live alongside them. Rather than promising quick or miraculous transformation, the book emphasizes resilience, inner understanding, and maintaining healthy connections with others.

Big Feelings is a practical and reflective guide for readers who wish to confront difficult emotions not through denial or suppression, but through awareness, acceptance, and flexibility.
